Is there something different?

What kind of material is the pipe made from? If galvanized pipe, it
could be rusted closed, in that case, you will probably have to bite
the bullet and replace some piping.


Is it galvanized. To replace would require removing a/c ductwork. See:

That looks like 2" pipe. Awfully wide to have a nearly 100% blockage.
