Most plumbing supply stores sell a rubber bladder that you hook your garden hose to and stick it the end of the pipe or drain and when you turn the water on, the bladder inflates and seals around the pipe. And then water comes out of the bottom of the bladder and the pressure usually cleans out the line. Depending on where you live, the water pressure will be anywhere from 40 to 90 psi, which is quite adequate to blow out most clogs. The bladders come in different sizes depending on the size of the pipe you have. I have bladders ranging from about 1 ½ inches all the way up to 4 inches, and they probably even make them up to 6 inches.

Some times this works. The trick is not to give this area to much extra snake. Maybe 6 inches to a foot.
