clearing clogged sink drain
A bathroom sink drain is clogged almost 100%. I used a basic snake attached
to my drill. It goes down 5' and stops. I opened the hatch in the ceiling of the closet below. There is a sideways T fitting that the snake doesn't get past. The top of the T has a plug. The problem is there is now a/c ducts blocking access to the T. Is there some other kind of snake that will get around the 90 degree angle? I have not poured a liquid plumber type product down the drain. It has been a couple days. so I expect at this point the only water in the drain is in the P-trap. Now the P-trap does not have a plug at the bottom, but a section of it could be removed. A plunger doesn't work as the sink has overflow holes. I don't see how they can be closed off enough to withstand the force of the plunge. My next step is to call a plumber, but I thought I would ask you all first.
