[DIY] Sewer plug

 

Sink will not drain.  As this has been an on and off ongoing problem I think it's a root problem that eventually gets clogged with food waste particles.  All of the drain products and natural products have been tried.  The snake has been tried in the past and eventually the clog just comes back.  I have not tried the root foam stuff yet.  Has anyone tried that?

Those things have always been tried from under the sink.  Now, I'm thinking about unscrewing the plug that is underneath the house and very near the sink.  This would make snaking a straight shot.  I have reservations because this is an old metal sewage line and I'm not even sure how easily it would come undone.  But my main question may be silly.  The sink drain basically goes through the interior sink cabinet wall, into the outside under the house, curves underneath itself and then runs into a straight line half buried in the ground.....the plug is on a short run of pipe that runs the opposite way of that straight line.  If by some miracle the plug comes out, will any waste travel back towards the plug hole?
