Thanks for the tip. I've seen those and they look far easier and safer, and probably much less messy. But I don't see how that would help in this situation. Wouldn't that "burst of compressed air" just go uselessly out another hole? Like the overflow drain?
If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
Get yourself a strong helper to hold a wet rag or towel over the overflow. Make sure you have filled drain and overflow with water before discharging the shot, so it has something to work against.Originally Posted by W1GUH

Thanks. Thought it was something like that. But now, no matter, got a snake and problem is fixed. No backup from the sink & now I'll be able to take a shower without winding up knee-deep in water. Sweet!
AND...now I know this is really a non-problem....easily and quickly fixed. The snake was $22.95 from my friendly neighborhood mom & pop hardware store. And the guy I got it from echoed the comments here & on the web. Will be safe & go in through the overflow.

And let me be the first to say it. See what happens when you're a long haired hippie?

You forgot about the LSD-smoking part.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
You're right....thanks for the addition, Carl!

You're welcome. Now, go get a haircut.

For those "stubborn" clogs, a cherry bomb is very effective. And I guarantee that anyone on the upstairs crapper will notice.
As far as snaking a drain goes, I've had my best luck going down the roof vent if it's a single story, and you have access. It's usually a straight shot down without traps and stuff unless you had a creative plumber do the install.
