if you have taken it down already turn it upside down take a garden hose.meticulously flood it along with poking the debris with the “snake” you will eventually break the clog down, water is the finest way to unclog…my next attempt would be a wet-vac with a 1-1/4″ X 20 feet hose to “suck” it clean until you break the clog

    Maybe try putting a leaf blower on it to blow it backwards.

    I’m no Dr. Phil, however, if you get a dozen of those delivered to your office, I’m guessing the romantic relationship is above and it’s time and energy to move on.
