Super ball fell in bath tub drain?

My kid drop ed a super ball the bath tub drain,will Muratec acid or some thing else dissolve it.Be real no smart *** answersSuper ball fell in bath tub drain?
I bet you are making a trip to Home Depot and then under the house taking apart that drain very soon.Super ball fell in bath tub drain?
if you can see the ball,try putting a huge glob of rubber cement at the end of a long dowel or drain snake.This may make the ball adhere to the glue,and you can pull it up.I doubt the acid will disolve it,but you can try.it may disolve your pipes in the process.Is there a trap under the bathtub drain.if so,remove the trap cover and try to get from the other end.Good luck.
Try a wet vacum, don't try to wash it down are you could be asking for some real trouble. Better put a catch over that hole next time. I had moby Dick flushed down the toilet once, so I know how costly this can be. The acid will do you no good and may cause some damage. If you put that down, you can't use the vacum to suck it back up. Then the plumber will really hate you when he shows up if the vacum doesn't do it. Don't know if your tub has a easy to reach trap under it, but I would see as a second idea to get to the trap, it should still be there. It is a U joint in the plumbing and will hold it there until you can get to it. But if you try flushing it down with water, it may get stuck or go down all the way. Where it may stop no one knows. So good luck. If you can see it, the vacum just may do it. Look with a flash light.
NO chemicales, BAD idea.


See if pee trap is reachable,
Uh Oh...
