    Gail... did you try plunging it 1st.. Pull back is more important than push down.

    Otherwise, need to get an electric snake and find a cleanout at the ptrap under laundry tub, or at the pipe the laundry sink drain pipe connects into..

    What kind of pipes near sink.. Is this pvc (white plastic pipe), abs pipe (black plastic) or black metal pipe (cast iron pipe)or silver metal pipe (galvanized).. If this is cast iron going under ground, may need to hire a professional before you are through.

    Answer my questions, try plunging with standing water in laundry tub... get back to us... Mark
