Than take the plunger remember a good plunge isn't about going down its about the force going up. If that doesn't work your going to need someone to run a handheld power snake through the pipe.

Have you ever seen old copper pipe when it rots out? From water sitting in the bottom of the pipe and it literally crumbles when you breathe on it the wrong way? Thats what it started doing. I dont think a plunger would fix anything..ive had all the traps wide open and a blowbag/snake in there... The pipes in this house were done in the 1960s..and from messing with it they probably arent pitched properly..but at this point I just want someone who knows what they are doing to fix it
