After failing with a hand snake, I called a plumber who used a hydro-jet (a pressure washer for pipes). It was glorious. But at $250, it’s a luxury. Only do this if your snake comes back empty and water is backing up into your bathtub (which indicates a main line issue). Is learning to unclog a laundry drain worth it? Absolutely.
