Clogged Bathroom Sink! NEED HELP?

I cleaned out the Tube under the bathroom sink, there was gunk in there. However when i put the tube back in it's still clogged. I even cleaned the shaft running from the drain to the tube.

you need to run a drain snake into the pipes in the wall to unclog them something like this sounds like your whole drainage system is not draining properly and may be backing up causing the pipes to fill up and get blocked. p-traps under sinks get blocked but pipes in the wall never get blocked unless you have serious drainage issues. you would be surprised the things that end up in pipes, toys, trinkets, paper products, underwear, people flush some strange stuff and at some point it can get stuck and stop proper drainage. assuming you have a regular sewer line and not a septic tank or private sewer system: to check the sewer lines, start by checking your sewer cleanout and run water in there (full pressure open water hose) it should not have water backing up. then flush all the toilets and see if you have good amounts of water flowing by. next to check the drain lines, you need to get on the roof and stick the water hose in each roof vent pipe for a good 5 minutes. run water in there (full pressure open water hose) it should not have water backing up in any sinks or drains and you should see clean clear water running past when looking into the sewer cleanout where the sewer line exits the house. this ensure the drains are clear and any blockage you have would be found between the sink or drain and the pipes in the wall and that can easily be snaked to clear the blockage. if you find your drain lines are blocked, you should have all your main drain and sewer lines cleaned out, it does not cost that much to have it done and lasts for 20-30 years.
