Stopped up Kitchen Drain. Stubborn one. Took everything down
To the drainpipe.Everywhere it was clear water. Vent pipe cleared too.
Tried the small water hose into the drainpipe only went in 3 feet
Came back clear. Stoppage must be further down the line, maybe it curves.somewhere?
Guess I need a snake, don't know it a drill snake vs the one you crank would be easier to operate. Your opinion would help

Is any other fixture backing up? If it is just the sink, a drill snake may work. Otherwise, find a cleanout and rent an auger.

Just the kitchen sink. Rest of house is okay. Only clean-out is outside the bathroom and that is clear. House build in 1957
