    Sounds as if your clog is much further downstream. Do you have clean outs in the basement? Back to you

    You're snaking from the wrong spot.
    You need to snake from the kitchen roof vent. Put out enough snake to9 reach the base and 20 feet more to get out in the main. Good luck, Tom

    Then you need a longer snake. You haven't reached the blockage as yet. Try again. Good luck, Tom
