If you pour baking soda and vinegar down the drain and let it sit for about an hour it works wonders and doesn't have any harsh chemicals to hurt pipes, family, or pets.

Coca-cola can help a lot with this sometimes and very cheap...might as well give it a shot.

Pour baking soda into the drain until it's coating the upper drain. Pour vinegar over the drain and allow the bubble action and then chase it down with hot water. The drain will open up and you water will flow freely again in the drain.

If this doesn't help unclog the drain, then you may have a more serious problem, but try it a couple of times and see if that helps. I use this method each month to keep drains clean and the water running freely.
