Default Plumbing help/advice needed

The kitchen sink has backed up. I suspect the clog is from waste that has gone through the garberator.
The way the basement was developed, i dont have access to the trap in the floor near this drain. However, the drain pipe coming down from the sink into the basement floor was already cut and reconnected so this gives me access. Ive run a 25 foot snake and havent encountered any resistance so Im assuming the clog is further than 25ft.

What options do i have? Id prefer to try something myself before calling a plumber? Is there anywhere i can buy a snake longer than 25 feet? Or should i rent from home depot? Id prefer to buy in case this happens again.
Also wondering if i should be worried about something else going on? House is from the 60s here in calgary.
Any suggestions?
