This product has definitely saved me money when used correctly. My qualifications as a plumber only relate to do-it-yourself home projects, which means a lot of trial and error, and water in places where it shouldn't be. The origins of this journey began with a kitchen sink that wouldn't drain. I apologize for the long post. TL; DR - Make sure you place the Drain King in a vertical pipe and that there are no other places in the house for water to leak other than the clog. Tried the plunger to no avail, so I found a bucket, put it under the siphon and dismantled the pipe. The water was draining, and this confirmed the presence of a clog somewhere further down the line, perhaps in a pipe under the basement of the house or, even worse, in a pipe under concrete near a public sewer. Went to the local hardware store and bought a 25ft drill bit. . He opened the hatch under the sink and started snaking the line. I managed to pull out a nasty black trash. I assembled the trap, filled it with water, but unfortunately it didn't work and the sink filled with water. Went and bought a sewer cleaner. I poured it into the sink and left it overnight. The next morning I tried running hot water but it didn't clear the clog. Went on Amazon to find a longer drill bit thinking maybe 25ft wasn't enough. While browsing, I saw Drain King with really high ratings and product reviews. It was cheaper than a snail and with a few other purchases I was able to have it delivered the same day. Saturday to upload! When it arrived in the afternoon I decided to try cleaning it by hooking it up to my garden hose and running it through the kitchen window myself without waiting for my family to get home. Big mistake! Turned on the water from the yard, heard a strong vibrating sound in the pipe, as well as the sound of a waterfall under the house. They turned off the water, looked under the house and saw water pouring like a waterfall from an old galvanized pipe. I ran in and saw a big oh-oh-oh! Black, stinking water flowed from the hose past the bladder. When my family got home I found that the upstairs bathroom also had black water. Looks like the kitchen sink and bathtub are connected to the same sewer pipe. Wow! I crawled under the house and after a long argument I decided to cut out the rusty part of the pipe, went back to the workshop and replaced it with an ABS plastic pipe and rubber couplings. I thought it wise to close the tub. Started the water again when I heard a scream from inside to stop! I forgot to plug the drain hole in the tub so black water was still pouring into the tub. It was getting late, so I shut up. The next morning I went back to the store and bought a plug for a kitchen pipe. Close the flush and put the pipe under the kitchen sink. I climbed onto the roof to run a hose through the bathroom window. He shoved his bladder into the overflow and turned on the water. Lots of vibrating noises came from the pipes until the water started coming out of the roof vent. I was ready to give up and sat down with a sense of defeat, ready to give up and call the plumber. But I had a definitive escape plan. The night before, I tried to thread the balloon into a tube I had just replaced that went through the cement foundation, but I couldn't bend the balloon 90 degrees. I made another attempt, and after much effort and twisting of the hose, the bubble went down low enough to fire the final shot. The pipes vibrated and after a few minutes seemed to suddenly hum. I took it out and emptied the tub while watching the water flow down nicely with no obstructions. A very happy customer.
