If your drain vents through your roof, then you may need a plumber to clear it out from the roof.
thx for the info...
there is a pipe just after the trap that sticks up about 6" to
8" that must be the vent you spoke of.... it has a solid plastic cap on it and I was able to finally twist it a little hopefully this will help... I hope none of it has to be replaced because unlike the trap that is threaded this piping is glued...

also how would replacing that pipe help do you think it's plugged??
