    Hi CG24

    You can't. You either remove the cleanout on the bottom of the trap and snake through that, or you cut the pipe, snake the drain and then use a repair coupling or a shielded clamp to join everything back up.

    You could also snake down the washer vent pipe if you have a flat roof... ;)
