sink in kitchen rice clog HELP

Author: TheReefManiac (FL)

My kitchen has a center Isle with my sink> My problem is I poured a large tub of uncooked rice down disposal> Bad Idea! I took apart all lines under sink to clean it out> but the main line is clogged. all the bathrooms behind the clog is backing up into the bathtubs. The line in front of the clog going out of the house if fine so that 1 bathroom is ok. What can I do to break up that rice clog is the main line? Even my pressure washer was useless. I tried boiling water, clorox,etc.
