Very, very slow draining in bathtub. I've tried chemical declogger which didn't affect it. Also tried baking soda/vinegar/boiling water (twice) which didn't affect it. :wall: Any suggestions on how to get that "something" out without ripping out walls? We have a crawl space but I don't know if the pipes are accessible down there (too scared to go under there)!

Can-Do-It, welcome to the DIY Forums.
Since you do not know what we are dealing with, it makes it a bit harder to find a solution. The drain cleaners you tried, were they caustic type? If so, then why not try an enzyme type cleaner. Caustic drain cleaners eat a hole in the clog and then run down the drain pipes. Enzyme type cleaners cling to the clog and " eat" it. Try a product such as Draincare. It is available at Home centers, Walmart, hardware stores and even some grocery stores. About $8 for a multi-use jug. takes overnight but does work. Good luck.
