    will it unscrew from machine if so take it off and run a power hose through it

    If its the grey waste pipe on the machine your talking about then go easy, some have non return valves on the pump and back flushing wont be possible without trouble.

    If the waste is going to a septic tank I would avoid using chemicals to clear the blockage, you could try using compressed air or a wet and dry hoover.
