alright so, our bathtub will NOT drain. we've tried the chemical decloggers and those little plastic snake things but none of it worked, so we had our friend crawl under our house to look at our pipes and they're rusted really bad. when we replaced the ones under our kitchen sink, when the guy grabbed it to pull em out they just broke and crumbled in his hand.. the house we bought is pretty old and my guess is they've never redone the pipes. my hubby's dad lent him a plumbing snake thats 20 ft long, my husband is afraid that if we use it then we'll bust a pipe, but we don't know how much it will cost to redo the pipes and were on a pretty tight budget.. SOOO could we just crawl under our house and see what pipe lengths we need and just take the old out and put the new in or do you know round about the cost of having a plumber do it? I just need help. I'm tired of having to scoop out my water lol I have no idea how to reply to the answers so I'm just gonna add it on here. all our pipes are copper I think. the house was built in the 60's so whatever metal they used back in the day (which I'm pretty sure was copper) but yeah it's all totally rusted.
