Clogged Drains: What To Do When The Snake Won’t Clean Your Clog

 

You’ve tried everything to clean out that stubborn tub, sink or floor drain. The plunger didn’t work. You’ve even run the snake as far back into the drain pipes as it would reach. Maybe you needed a longer snake or you hit some corners and elbows that stopped your progress. Now what? Tear apart the wall or rip up the floor? Not so fast…

Over the last two and a half years plumbers and maintenance men have found that having Super Concentrated Non Acid Drain Punch in the truck or on their cart has saved the day time after time. Below are five real life stories you might relate to.

Chuck is a commercial plumbing/mechanical contractor. One day while working to clear out a particularly tough clog at a university he almost met his match. First Chuck tried running the snake down into the drain as far as it would reach. He turned on the water to see if it went down… nope the drain was still clogged. Second tool Chuck tried was the jet… turned on the water to see if it went down… nope the drain was still clogged. As a last resort Chuck went down to the facilities operations shop and asked one of the men ” do you have any drain cleaner you use that I could try?”  Here is Chuck to tell you what happened.

 

 

Steve has been a plumber for almost 40 years. Little did I know when we first met that Steve knew about Drain Punch before I did! You see, when I took over this route 2 1/2 years ago from a fishing buddy who was retiring I missed the fact that the county school system where Steve works was already a Drain Punch customer. I happened to meet Steve in his shop parking lot and introduced myself as the new sales rep. After the introductions I said I had the world’s best non acid drain cleaner and would he like to see a demo? To my surprise Steve said he already had a great non acid drain cleaner and he wasn’t interested in switching. We went back and forth a little with me saying mine has the strongest concentration of sodium hydroxide available on the commercial market and Steve replied his was plenty strong and worked great on clogs everywhere he needed it. Finally, I got out a bottle and said to Steve here feel how heavy this bottle is. then I got an even bigger surprise. Steve said “that’s what I use, Drain Punch!” We both laughed out loud!

Fast forward to a couple of months ago when Steve asked me could he buy a case to use in his personal plumbing business.  I said sure, that’s easy. Just go to my website and order a case.  He did and then he told me why…Steve had been called to a house with clogged drains. This particular house has a mother and 3 daughters among the residents so Steve naturally thought “a hair clog must be the culprit”. Steve snaked the kitchen sink, the bathroom sinks and the tubs then he turned on the water. After a minute or so all of the drains backed up again just like before he ran the snake. Then Steve had an idea, why not try pouring a half a bottle of Drain Punch into each drain and see what happens. He borrowed a couple of bottles of the work truck and poured some into the 3 sinks and 2 tubs. 30 minutes later Steve turned on the water and whoosh! All of the drains ran free. The moral of this story is Drain Punch will reach and clear clogs when a snake cannot.  Steve also replaced those 2 bottles that saved him a ton of work.

Mike and Hector are the maintenance men at a very large dual apartment complex built in the early 1970’s. They agreed to give Drain Punch a try last year because they are always getting calls for clogged drains and I showed them a testimonial from Chris who was so happy about Drain Punch he did a testimonial video for YouTube.

In the next few months up until now Mike and Hector have been very pleased with the job Drain Punch is doing. One time they poured Drain Punch into a clogged sink and waited 30 minutes. Then they poured in the other half because they could see stuff floating and waited. The drain was still clogged so they said heck it’s noontime let’s take lunch and call the plumber at 1:00 if the drain is not clear. Don’t you know when they returned at 1:00 the drain ran free and clear! Some clogs are deeper and take a little more time for the 50% sodium hydroxide to pacman through, but if you have time and the residents don’t mind or are not home most of the time waiting a few more minutes will save you lots of nasty work.

Bill has been a plumber for over 30 years and currently works at on of the largest hospitals in town. To say that Bill, Frank and the rest of their engineering staff was eager to try the next best greatest drain cleaner would be a huge stretch… but, Bill later said that the main reason he tried Drain Punch was because when I handed him a bottle he immediately felt how heavy it is and thought this is different!  Then last month Bill gave me a humbling compliment after I said to Bill like always “thank you for your business.”  Bill immediately responded,” no, thank you for bring Drain Punch in here. It saves us a lot of time and makes our job easier!”  All the rest of the crew who heard Bill say that chimed in with similar comments. Here is Bill in his own words…
