My upstairs bathroom sink is backing up and I'm not sure what to do about it. I removed the trap and cleared out a hair clog above the trap, put it back together and ran the water for a moment and the sink filled up and won't drain.
I ran a snake from the wall clear into the main and put it back together and still have no luck. I also got a pipe balloon (not sure the real name) and blasted water through the pipe. I can feel the water getting through, but as soon as I relieve the pressure and pull the balloon, I get about a quart of backwash. I'm sure I still have a partial blockage but I'm not having any luck. Any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris
