I'd get one of those devices you stick down the drain and rotate to get hair out. I was AMAZED at the amount I pulled from our shower and sink drains!
Reread the first post, he already tried that. I don't recommend those clog sticks for Hepvo's though, since the "teeth" on the stick can damage or invert the "duck" lips that seal the odors out.
BINGO. Any Snake that goes THRU the Duck Lips will invert the lips when pulling it back out. Now, just to stick a few inches into the drain is OK. The Hepvo valve is at least 6 inches from the drain. They also recommend that you put a tablespoon of vegetable oil down any drain that has a Hepvo valve to help keep the Duck lips from sticking once a month. Doug
