The bad news: I have very old plumbing and field lines that go into the woods. This means that my pipes clog up with stuff a lot and when my washing machine dumps out I end up with nasty water gurgling up in my bathtub.
Every once in a while I put sulphuric acid down the drain to break it up. I'm supposed to put 32 oz. in and leave it for 15 minutes. It makes a nasty smell, but it helps a little.
The good news: Tonight it helped a lot. There is no more water gurgling up the tub right now.
The really bad news: I put the acid in and forgot about it for 45 minutes. For all I know, the water is gurgling around under the house instead.
The scary news: I have to check under the house in the morning. Remember this thread? My new little friend lives under the house now...
