Kitchen sink is draining extremely slowly, or not at all (can't quite make out which). The obstruction is downstream of the p-trap.
Starting at the end adjacent the sink, I tried a snake to clear the drain pipe connected to the p-trap. Once the snake was in about 10 feet or so, I could no longer advance it. I do not know whether a bend in the pipe or the clog impeded me from further advancing the snake.
I do know I've got about 10 feet of clear drain pipe with a clog somewhere thereafter. And I believe I'm going to give up on the snake.
Currently, I've got everything reassembled, and the water is stopped up all the way back to the sink (I thought maybe I had cleared the clog).
My next thought is to try chemicals. Two questions come to mind there- (1) will chemicals make it through 10 or more feet of line and water to clear the clog, and (2) if so, are some chemicals better suited than others for such a task?
