how do i unclog kitchen plumbing in a double wide manufactured home?
the “snake” goes about 12 feet and stops. the p trap is clear. i opened the plug where the pipe goes under the floor and put in the snake. i atttached a hose to the faucet and put water down to clear out debris dislodged by snake. i then put the sulfuric acid drin opener in but it has not disolved the clog. i repeated the flushing. it must be at and elbow to the rest of the house plumbing. i tried getting to it thru the washer drain but no l uck.

The most inexpensive way to clear the drain, especially if all else has failed and you can’t find the clog, use peroxide. As crazy as it seems it works better than the usual products and doesn’t cost much, about 50 cents a bottle. Buy about a gallons worth and pour it down your pipes. Think about it, remember what it did on your skin the last time you had a cut?
get a pneumatic ram and use it to clear the drain (there is such a thing in the plumbing world you can get one at most rental stores)
go to the hardware store and buy a drain attachment for your hose. this attachment fits inside your drain and when the water comes on (hopefully you have decent water pressure) it expands and pressurizes your drain to force the blockage thru.
one question though, you live in a M. H., is it freezing where you live??
if so you may have a frozen drain line to which you’ll need to thaw out your pipes with a hair dryer ore something
