I’ve got a clogged sink, and have been reading the labels on a bunch of different products lately. I’d always assumed that they were a strong acid of sorts, which would dissolve whatever sort of material was built up in the pipes. But I’ve noticed that a lot of these products specify that they’re non-corrosive, so I’m not sure what other sort of mechanism may be at play here.

      Show a yank this picture and watch them start frothing at the mouth and shrieking about “muh code” 😂

        What a strange thing to have a superiority complex over. “It is legal to install plumbing which can’t be mechanically cleaned.”

          If you think a random piss-take shitpost is a “superiority complex” you most likely have an inferiority complex and shite plumbing mate 😂

              No tools needed to clean it, you just unscrew that bit at the bottom, and also apparently you get a superiority complex according to some bloke on the internet lmao

                    but why would I if I can just snake it?

                    unscrewing it I have to clean up everything afterwards. I also have to patch the ceiling or re-cover the access hole.

                    with a snake, I just snake it. it goes through the plumbing, and I’m done.

                    unless I’m missing something.
