Talked to a plumber at Rona last week about my shoddy DIY drain snake job
He said I likely just pushed the clog further down and now it's probably stuck in the main line, has anyone else had their home fix completely backfire like that?

...and then on top of that, are you even sure that clog was just from normal buildup? Nobody ever thinks about what actually goes down their drains. Like, if you've been dumping coffee grounds or grease down there, that stuff doesn't just sit in one spot. It hardens into basically concrete over time, and when you shove a snake through it you're just making a tunnel through the middle of a solid mass. The real fix might be needing a hydro-jetting service to actually blast all that hardened gunk off the pipe walls instead of just poking a hole through it.
