Have you ruled out using a chemical drain opener? At least for
soap/hair clogs I've found that the thick Drano Max gel (comes in a
yellow plastic container - Home Depot has it) often works wonders when
other types of chemical openers (not the acid ones) fail. I've used the
Drano product with success on completely plugged bathroom sink and tub
drains. Sincerely,

As I wrote I have not. The stop is 5 feet in. Some chemical will be lost in
the trap. The drain pipe is 1-1/2". Will it even make it down to the
blockage?
