As to the drain problem;, perhaps you can stick a dry/wet vac hose
down the drain and extract what ever is causing the blockage. It may
need a temporary hose modification. Can you run a long piece of
something like bailing wire down the drain, maybe grab what causes the
problem? Or dislodge it...


This is an inexpensive way to look inside:

I bought something similar. As the wire is floppy, I taped it to a
stretched out coat hanger.

That looks like a pretty handy gadget, but even if I can tell what is
blocking it, I still have to remove the pipe.


You're not getting past a joint with your snake. Try harder.
Apply some pressure when the snake stops. Sometimes take a while.
