Plumbing problem. Sink clog. Auger stuck. What to do?

1. we heard a stange sound that was a bit like a smoke alarm going off. But flushing the toliet make it stop.

2. the bathroom sink is clogged. We used hot water, drain cleaner, no help.

3. used an auger, and I think it is down there about 2 or many 3 feet and now stuck.

What is the possible plumbing problem? And how do we get the auger out?

    I think, you should call a professional plumber to solve your problem. I have a little idea on plumbing so, I don't want to suggest you. And also I think, it's not a normal problem. You can call plumber :

    as you turn your auger pull it out if that does not work you will need to take your pipes apart under the sink Freds tip of the day next time it clogs you use a shop vacuum over the drain it's much easy er

    Take the piping under the sink apart till you find the auger....Probably going to one hell of a mess...
