Try using the shop vac to suck it up instead of blowing
it even deeper into the system. This way you may find
out what is clogging the drain rather then making it
worse by pushing the obstruction further into your system.
Do you have people in the household taking showers
with long hair...IF YES then instead of plunging it remove
the drain stop and unclog the drain instead.
You may be causing a build up instead of clearing it by using
the plunger.
ALSO you can try a drain cleaner that is safe for
whatever type of pipes you have which will break down
any sediment that may be clogging the drain.
Hope this has helped
