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?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
