I did the drano, the plunging, hot water,et all. pvc piping taken all apart.the gooseneck is clear.Somewhere in the pipe that comes up from the floor is where it is not going down.Is this an airlock and if so how to remedy this.All the plunging does not work.

When my sink would do this, and I got a small snake and cleaned it out and haven't had one problem in 8 years since I did. It was mostly slimy disgusting hair.
You will need to rod it. The clog is somewhere further in the line.
had same problem with my kitchen sink-had to finally call a plumber to snake it out and cost me almost 200 bucks!!! you wouldn't believe how much snake he had to push in before it unclogged-you can rent a snake but I advise to call a plumber
You can buy a snake with a hand crank that would be all right if you go through the sink, especially if you think the clog is still under the house. 😇
You can def snake without having to pay a professional, your local hardware store should be able to hook you up with the gear you'll need- you got this!!
Just a thought try pouring a 2 liter of coke down the drain...or baking soda and vinegar...tried them both and they helped
my grocery store had a special drain clearing product for $5 that was guaranteed to unblock drains clogged with hair. That is probably what's blocking a bath sink from shaving, hair combing, etc.I think was made by Draino, but wasn't the usual stuff. Another home I found baking soda & white vinegar did the trick with the bubbling that happens when they are mixed. Both methods safe for all pipes. Good luck!
