Kitchen Pipes Clogged With Goo & Won't Drain

Hello all

Great place you all have here, this is my 1st visit.

Anyway, I have a kitchen sink, two-sided sink w/garbage disposal backing up on me, and now won't drain.

In the backyard, I have a pipe access to the sink. It's pvc/3" and I typically run a hose with a pressure bladder in it to inflate and blow the pipes free of obstruction.

Whenever I do this though a nasty greyish-brown, food-like goo comes out with the hose when I pull the hose out. Over time I think this goo has built up on the pipes, and created a super-clogg further down into the line.

This goo is dense, sticky, and not too easy to get rid of. I'm not sure a snake would work, if so, what type to use? Chemicals are a bad choice too, as the goo seems to ignore it. The pressure-bladder did not work this time... so, I'm reaching out for any suggestions on how best to attack this now?

Or, should I just call Adee-do?

Thanks in advance, and best regards.

Geoff
