The problem ismy bathtub won't drain. I think it is fitted with a moen drain. There is a grate that I can remove. Then further down is a grate which I can't remove. when I try to push a stick or hard pastic straw down, it seems to hit something solid. What do you think the problem is?
On most applications, where the lever for the stopper is located, mounted just under the faucet, also serves as the overflow for the tub: unscrew that plate and then you can pull the stopper linkage out. maybe you have a bunch of gunk (hair, etc) blocking the drain. once you have the entire linkage out, boil about a gallon of hot water and pour it down the drain; immediately follow with HOT tap water; if it drains, GREAT, if it doesn't, just let the HOT water sit there for a few minutes; then get your hand plunger and go to work. be sure to block the overflow hole (where you took the plate off) with plastic so that when you are working the plunger, you get good suction.
