Our bathtub is clogged, drains water very very slowly. Also when I use the bathroom sink, the bathtub starts to fill with water. I tried pumping and used anti-clogging liquid, didn’t work. I am going to call a plumbing service to fix it. How much do you think it will cost?

I am trying to do my part to save water and energy by using cold water whenever I can for laundry, washing dishes and hands, etc. I also try to prevent wasting water by not letting the sink and bathtub run, and have installed a tankless water heater for near instant hot water. The problem is that my plumbing frequently backs up due to buildup of soap/shampoo/laundry detergent/dishwashing detergent. I’ve read that flushing the plumbing once a month with large volumes of hot water will help prevent/treat this problem, but that goes against my principles of trying to save energy and water. Does anyone have good ideas for preventing plumbing clogs from soap/detergent buildup, without wasting a lot of energy or water?
