What it usually is
Hair and soap build up in the drain and trap below it. If the tub and sink are slow too, the clog may be in the shared line.
What to do first
Remove the strainer or stopper and clear what you can reach with gloves. Avoid mixing drain chemicals.
The flat rate that covers it
- Single drain clearing (accessible cleanout): $189
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
Federal Way is a large suburban city of subdivisions, townhomes and apartment complexes that mostly grew in recent decades. Many Federal Way homes are newer, so common calls are for fixture repair, valve problems and worn-out water heaters rather than failing old pipe.
