Clogged front driver’s side drain

I got the passenger side unclogged using tuba cleaner. Passenger side is proving harder and I now see water has leaked into drivers side ruh.

Is there a plumbing drain solution or instrument anyone can recommend?

So... no water comes out fron the bottom river's side... when you pour down some test water?

Your vacuum blower attachment... blow down the tube (creating a seal around the drain)... and blow up the drain (from the bottom).

Hope that helps.

Just the right size to clean out the drains. Maybe smaller than what you have?

I screwed up and pushed the tube through! Is there a relatively easy way to get under there? Remove battery tray?
