Default Any real household plumbers here?

I've had great success pressurising the pipes with the "blow" side of a shop

Interesting you should suggest that. I don't have a shop vac...but it
occured to me that a solution of vinegar and baking soda down the drain
might blow whatever is blocking it loose if I also plug the sink. It
produces enough effervescence to blow out a hose connection on a boat if
you're not careful. I don't THINK there's any danger of that happening
in the house, but I'm not sure what else might!
