Got home last night ready to try all the good suggestions. I planned on starting with the easiest so I reassembled the trap then I poured water in to fill the sink so I could plunge it. It never backed up. The digging I did with the snake must have loosened it up? Works fine now. As far as cleaning / maintenance, I'm sure the pipes are layered with slimy crud. Would just very hot water down the drain be enough? Or best to leave well enough alone?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Steve-
I use this stuff (when I remember) it keep the cast iron waste lines in my previous 50 years working.....didn't have to replacement before I sold it.
Works great on hair, soap & makeup build up......occasionally (that's what reminded me to use) had a slow drain that need a quick plunge but following w/ the Drain Care restored flow.

Try this: 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1/2 cup of vinegar. Wait a minute or so and then flush with boiling hot water from your kettle. It's safe and environmentally sound. It's a natural way to keep your drains clog-free.
