Well, weeks of my GF flushing hairballs and tampons and dick medicine down the toilet has finally caught up with me. No amount of plunging or drano is going to take care of this problem. Can I rent a pipe snake somewhere? Does anyone have one I could use? Should I just call JEG? Should I call a REAL plumber. I feel like this is my fault, not the landlord’s so it’s my responsibility, not his. ---

I have one somewhere, I had to use it a ton last spring on a house I was working on, let me try to find it. They’re generally cheap and can get them at Lowe’s, Home Depot, pluming stores etc. How long of a snake do you need? ---

Do you have access to your sewage drain pipe(s)? If not you may need a professional depending on what damage she caused, but I would try to snake it out first to save some money. ---

I would call the landlord and see what they suggest. He might offer to do it or tell you to handle it. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-pipe-snake/64134.md?page=2)
