Please do not laugh. I was running a 15 foot snake down a vent on the roof and it slipped out of the device that holds it in a coil. It went down the vent. What do I do to retrieve it? It is a single story house.
if another snake wont grab it you will have to cut the pipe behind sink or whatever was vented

You probably should of pulled the trap off the sink (assuming a sink backed up) and snaked the arm over with a hand crank
The problem was a slow flushing toilet. It was not stopped up, just bubbling when flushed. Bought a 25' snake that operates with a cordless drill and it grabbed the other snake on the first try. Then I ran the new snake down and cleared the vent. The toilet works better than ever.
