While investigating a stopped tub drain, I found that in the overflow tube, the lever-type rod rotted and separated from the stopper(close to it). Is there a way to retrieve the stopper from the bottom of the tube?
Thanks for any advice.
 
Find an acces point for the overflow piping for ex.crawlspace or removable sheetrock.then disconect the piping and pull it out.also a more simpler aproach will be to stick a magnet down the overflow or a grab hook both sold in homedepo
 
Thanks for the replies, I've been trying the fishing approach, no luck yet but will keep trying.
