I snaked every water line in my house even the main,but the water drains very slowly.
I'm in a wheelchair and really need help. I can get a friend to help me physically, but it's a money thing.
Thanks,
J. McKay

The friend can use a hose unless it's freezing where you are, then rent a snake. I guess order pizza for both of you.

I agree with joy in everything except the hose thingy. The problem with running water down a blocked vent is that if the clog is built up and solid the water will simply build and flood out the lowest fixture, If nobody's around to yell up to the roof to stop the water it could turn into a real mess. Rent a sewer machine And snake the vent. Put out enough to reach the base and16 feet more. Good luck, Tom
