drain cleaner?

Need a drain snake

Suck out the clog

Use drain cleaner

Second the drain snake suggestion. You can use it first or fool around with all kinds of remedies, natural and commercial, for as long as you care to - and then use the snake anyway. For rent at many outlets and cheap.

This works the best

muriatic acid

A plumbing snake.

5kg Soda Crystals (not sure what they're called in US)

Pour some dish soap down the hole.

Follow with boiling water.

Wait a few minutes and plunger it.

The soap lubricates and the boiling water softens the clog and heats the pipe expanding it a few thousands, sometimes enough to clear it and sometimes not.

If not, get a plumbing snake or tear the drain apart.

Homemade fireworks

Some good suggestions however DO NOT pour boiling water down PVC piping. There are also water jets that clear clogs really well if they are not more than 12' or so from the drain.

Pour baking soda down the sink drain. Boil cheap white vinegar & pour that down the sink. Follow with boiling water.

Can you remove the pee trap?

Yea, like Rhino or something. Wear gloves an goggles. Sometimes if it's bad it'll spray back.

100% agree.

This was the product I was going to recommend. I've even used it in my washing machine. My front loader would always get a bad smell no matter how much bleach or "clean" cycles I ran.

Poured a bottle of this in, ran a "tub clean cycle" and the water ended up full of old lint and gross shit. Washer worked like new and the clothes are nice now.

Too bad my ex kept it during the divorce, it was a damn fine washing machine.

Even my brother thinks this product is the best he ever used, and his girlfriends hair ALWAYS clogs the drain, but not anymore when he uses this stuff.

I'm pretty sure it's 100% lye.

Thou shall not lye!

Well, I have tried everything you all posted except the acid. Nothing. Snake is not long enough. Heck I even tried vegetable oil. Lol. Thank you for the suggestions..

LA area?

If your snake to short could be roots in your main sewer pipe.

sulfuric acid, home depot sells it in comes in a bottle sealed in a plastic bag. That shit will open any drain

Op is full of pipe clog....

I have roots getting into my drainage pipe at the edge of the property. If it's roots then everything backs up not just the sink.

Wait till they flush more. Get a longer snake.

Garden hose down the drain with a rag or something to seal the gap.
Works really well if you have a kitchen faucet adapter (like for filling water beds), otherwise, you'll need an assistant at the outside tap.
Start with short, gentle bursts, and turn your head so you don't get blasted.
Good luck!
