    I don't "Facebook" so you may post my user name if you wish. This is a typical bathroom drainage set up, (see image) Ordinarily the solution would be to jack hammer up the slab and replace the drain line. But I recommend this only after I've tried everything else. Since you don't know what's down there or how much there is why not rent a Ridged K-30 (3/8ths" cable and put a cutter tip, (see image) on it and attempt to grind your way through the blockage? It's worth a trey and a lot cheaper then tearing up the slab, Good luck, Tom
