Comment on Fixing my drain required breaking laws, pissing off IRC users, breaking tools…

Pulled the plug and ran to the basement. There is a strong gushing from the main pipe. So I’d say at least most of the water is going to the right place. So certainly it’s not a case where the sewage found a complete alternate path. The clog is in fact gone. Though there’s always a chance of leaks, which in this case would be into or below a concrete slab.

Do you know concentration of the acid? I think it is only case in higher concentrations like 80% or above.

Maybe if I track down the MSDS it might say, but I can say for sure that this is labelled as a pro drain cleaner for that purpose. So it’s not likely laboratory or military grade or anything intense.

Ok seems like 90% or above with these additives it should be fine.
