My kitchen sink is clogged. I ran a 25' 1/4" snake into the clean out on the outside wall and it didn't clear the clog, though it did drop tantalizing hints, in the form of some solid grease stuck on the very end of the snake, that I was almost there.
So I went out and bought a 50' 1/2" snake. It is a manual one -- didn't even come in a drum. It should reach the clog easily.
But I can't get the #*$% thing more than about 6' in. I am pretty sure that the 1/2" snake is won't go around the 90 degree turn. The smaller snake made the turn with no problems at all.
So what's the trick? I have spent a couple of hours at this and now it's personal!
If this doesn't work, I will call in a professional. I've looked through old threads and I really get the danger of large powered snakes. But I am going to get that #*$% thing around that turn before I give up even if I have to remove the &*%# wall to do it!
It's a guy thing. I'm sure you understand.
