The way to really is to use some drain rods -I imagine you can hire
them. These are flexible rods that you poke down the drain to dislodge a
blockage. If you can get it through you length of the drain then you can
tell if the blockage is outside your property

Although a cheap set doesn't cost much.

And, if you do this, don't do what a collegue of mine did. Always,
always turn them the right way, to keep the nuts tightened.
