I do all my own plumbing, including gas plumbing. I have a lot of plumbing tools.
Roto-rooter. Seriously. Then install the lint filter somebody else mentioned.
No. If you haven’t got either one, though, you can consider them the same thing.
Anyway, answering the question “what do you do when you’ve got a plumbing clog?”
I have an old rubber plunger that I mounted a steel schraeder valve in decades ago. I put the plunger over the drain, hold it tight by the handle, and hit the valve with a couple hundred psi of compressed air.
You should not ever do this. You could be killed, I imagine. But it’s what I do, and it works great for me. In theory, if the blockage is too solid to move out of the way, the rubber plunger will flatulently release the pressure before the pipes actually explode. In practice, well, I’ve never had a blockage that didn’t just blast right down into the sewer main. Nonetheless, don’t do this.
