Any Plumbers out there?... clogged drain

[Dar]

I have a clogged bathroom sink drain.
I have tried vinegar and baking soda... nothing
draino... nothing
liquid plumber... nothing

DH had removed the "P" or stink trap and cleaned all that out... this appears to be blocked further down the line. The water will drain but really S -L - O -W

what other suggestions do you have?

thanks

Do you have sewer lines, on site treatment tanks, or septic tank with drain field?

Is the sink the only thing clogged in the house?

we are on a septic tank and yes this is the only clogged drain

Then your best bet is to rent a snake and take the trap off for access. If it is a bathroom sink it may just be a hair ball in the line. Make sure you put a bucket underneath access, because you will pull out some nasty smelling gunk getting the clog out.

I forgot to tell you to open the window when you do it, sewer gas smell is very strong.

you can buy a snake at any hardware store they run about 20 bucks nice to have on hand

i have had some luck with a wire coat hanger if the clog isn't too far down the line.
