Misc chemists: help. Poured virgin sulfuric acid down drain. Now bubbling up.

Did not clear the clog. Is now pooled in the drain and is starting to bubble.

Had used the whole bottle so probaby a half gallon. Tried to neutralize with baking soda but I don't think I had enough left bc it didn't help.

If it's relevant, the pipes under the sink feel extremely hot to the touch now.

Always go for the half gallon of acid first and ask questions later

are the pipes under your sink stainless steel?

if they are the acid is corroding the metal and making hydrogen gas. if it's pvc it's ok

the acid and baking soda are reacting which makes carbon dioxide gas which is bubbling off and generates a lot of heat. if it gets extremely hot it can start spitting acid back up the drain

best to fill your sink with ice turn the tap on to flush your pipes and dilute the acid and open your windows to flush out the gas

use sodium hydroxide to clean your pipes out next time m8

Acid is used to dissolve proteinz. If you've deposited too many 'proteinz' into the drain use acid. If it is a fat blockage you need caustic.

I don't use any chemical methods to clean drains these days, only physical. I tried to use that Draino stuff years ago and it never worked

Ty bro. I have pvc so I think I'm okay.

Did what you said and it finally settled down. Issue is the drain still doesn't work. lol

Is it safe to try sodium hydroxide now with the standing acid still probably there?

At some point it becomes cheaper in the long run to hire a licensed professional.

if you left the tap running for a while to give it a good flush you should be ok

if you're using solid sodium hydroxide pellets make sure you add small portions of it to your water at a time with mixing otherwise your water will boil

if that freaks you out best thing to do is have your container of water sitting in an ice bucket so the water is cold then slowly add small potrions of your sodium hydroxide to the cold water so it doesn't boil

when you pour it in your drain and it has done its thing just leave the tap on for a while to flush your pipes out

You may have done this already, but did you get under there with a bucket and unscrew the P-trap? Everything collects in that little U-shaped piece. You unscrew it by hand and let all the crud empty into the bucket. After that, I'd take some pipe cleaners and push everything else down into the bucket
