I am unable to get a snake around a bend in a pipe. The pipes look like this and the one going straight down is clogged. The two side pipes go to sinks and the one going up is for a roof vent. There was heavy rain today and I noticed a puddle of water in the basement floor coming from this pipe but the attic was dry, so I'm assuming it was leaking somewhere here.

Normally you plumb that with 2" going down and use a double fixture fitting.
You can cut in a cleanout above the double santee that you have going.

I went ahead and put in the clean out. I snaked it and all is well now. Thank you for your help!
