Theater of the Soul

What does one do when they have an incredibly S-L-O-W tub drain and no amount of Draino or Liquid Plumber has fixed it? They bring out the BIG guns.

That’s professional plumber strength drain cleaner containing sulfuric acid.

I figured any drain cleaner that has a VERY BIG WARNING LABEL saying “CAUTION! This product may cause eruptions from your drain pipes!” has got to work, right?

I had intended to post a picture here showing the results of pouring the cleaner into the drain, but to tell the truth…I was a little scared. I poured 1/4 of the bottle in and ran like a chickenshit. There was a tiny eruption, and lots of hissing and spitting. It sounded and smelled like I had poured a very pissed off cat along with 8 dozen rotten eggs down my pipes.

Suffice it to say, my pipes (and, I suspect, every pipe in a 3 mile radius) are clean and flowing freely. Tim Allen would be proud.
