Do you have attic access, to that area that the pipe passes through? Can you look down the pipe with a flashlight?

You may be running into an elbow. Are you using a snake from the roof? The above poster is right, look into the attic to see if you have elbows which don't allow the snake to come down through it.

Even if there are elbows there the water should flow thru them.
