[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1345446, member: 7629"] that depends on where the clean out drain cap is located. if you are talking about the outside drain cap, when unscrewed... sink drains out. then main sewer line is clogged ... your little snake will do zero good. drain snakes comes in 4 basic sizes (actually more) 1/4in diameter, 3/8in, 1/2in and 3/4in plumbers will use 1/4in snake for run from sink into feeder drain line. 3/8in for roof snake out and general purpose. then 3/4in for 6in diameter sewer mains. if you are determined to do this your self .... you need to rent a medium sized rotor machine from home depot. then snake out clean out line from roof. and/or rent a large machine then snake out main sewer drain from outside cleanout. it's a nasty job ... around here plumbers charge $75+ per hour there's usually a tiny number of plumbers that charges by the job ($95) flat rate. He successfully cleans out your drain or he doesn't get paid. needless to say he is always backed up 3-5 days. most folks can't wait that long. you need to find out who charges flat rate ($95?) near you... then find out what the wait times are.
