| You can try some gel drain opener, it may or may not do it. My wash machine drain plugs alot. I need a bigger drain pipe. I have one of those cheap snakes if that'd help. _________________ The church is near, but the road is icy. The bar is far, but I will walk carefully. Old Russian proverb

My snake would help if there's not too tight of a turn to make. _________________ The church is near, but the road is icy. The bar is far, but I will walk carefully. Old Russian proverb

| Careful with the acids. Dilute Sulfuric and Hydrochloric AKA Muriatic are fairly safe, but stronger sulphuric can put off fumes that can erode teeth. And don't even think of nitric acid or metal pipes will go bye bye and you might too. Avoid exotic acids like Hydroflouric too. Hydroflouric can be bought for etching or cleaning sick glass, but it's highly dangerous if mishandled. In strong concentrations it will penetrate skin and seek out calcium. I met a Union Pacific man once who had several bones in his hand dissolved by it. Stay with lower strength Sulfuric or Hydrochlorics. If you try acids NEVER mix them with anything else and take proper precautions as prescribed on the container. _________________ The church is near, but the road is icy.
