Re: Liquid Drain openers

I gave up on those long ago.

If it is a kitchen sink that is clogged, just pull the trap and deal with it. Maybe a 10-15 minute job.

If it is a bathroom sink or tub/shower drain that is clogged, 90% of the time it is a mat of hair that is the culprit, and I find that the quickest way to clear it is just pull the mat out with one of these, right through the drain...




[EDIT]Also works for laundry tub traps...[/EDIT]

I find the Zip-it tool (about $3, got mine at H.D.) very effective.

I second the vote on the ZIPIT tool. It's amazingly simply, no chemicals. Just watch your hands cause it's sharp - it's not a toy.

Thing is i've done that. the clog isn't in an easy to get to spot and i can run about 3 gallons of water before the water starts backing up.

Agreed... I assumed you were talking about a clog in a local trap... not way down the pipe.

For something that far out, a snake is your best bet.
