In all fairness, the enzyme cleaners work best on SLOW drains...this way the formula can loosen up the stool crud and the next day you are supposed to flush with hot water...I used this stuff on several customers slow drains and my own and it works decently
Exactly. No chemical or enzyme solution can work on a complete clog. Obviously the product need to be in FULL CONTACT with blockage. It's the equivalent of using a snake and stopping at the obstruction, not going THROUGH it.
It would be a better video if you also used the more "industrial" kind of chemicals to see how those fare (which usually create way more violent reactions but for the most part do the job). Also try it in different situations, like in shower pipes that are clogged with hair, dried soap and maybe even paper (people are weird). And maybe test this in increments. In 99% of the situations a person will use this to fix a slow drain of their sink/toilet/shower, not fix a complete blockage of their entire plumbing system. Of course there are exceptions, but I don't think most people will wait for their pipes to get completely blocked before trying something basic as using this product or even a plunger.
hot water and a plunger usually works for me I had to unclog the laundry sink and I got it freed up with just that, plugged the drain with a stopper and then filled with lots of hot water and let it sip some, then plunge a little, let it drink, plunge, drink, plunge, then some super aggressive plunging which built the pressure and the pockets between the water dislodged it.
I use the powder in the toilet because the water pressure is horrible on my floor in my apartment building. I let it sit overnight and flush it in the morning. I also use it in the shower. Best $10 I've ever spent at home Depot.
Is it not acceptable for you to recommend BOILING water after 24 hours.. That; is when it works better than ANYTHING! Personally asking. Cuz i go out of my way to order it since they lost their rep with lowes home depot ace... they disappeared and i pay for it on amazon.
This product is designed to dissolve grease, fat, hair etc in slow moving drains. If your drain is packed with vegetables and carbohydrate-y style stuff AND it's no longer slow moving but entirely blocked, it will never work. That is purely because it's not meant for that. Try melting some lard/butter/fat, pour it down the drain and let it go hard. See what the product will do then, before you add the hot water.
Clogs are built up over time so they spend weeks some times moths soaking in water and it for slow drains not pipes clogged with stuff a hour before use this is not an accurate review at all
I like the comedic effort as well as the information you provide. My dad always said “If learning can be fun, you’ll never forget it” I have no use for plumbing knowledge…….. yet! Keep it up and keep having fun with it
Hey Roger! You came to speak to my advertising class at UT Austin a couple semesters ago, just stumbled upon your channel again after thinking about the advice you gave me on doing TH-cam: “pick one thing that you could talk about for the rest of your life and make content about that…”Nothing much to say, just wanted to leave a comment to say thank you for that advice, I’m really finding growth on all my socials and making content I’m proud of. God bless!! ❤
"This reminds me of a girlfriend I used to date in college... she ate a lot of noodles" *mischievous smile and stare* lmfao I love that type of humor. It stays professional, but implies the actual joke
Had a customer who peeled carrots for carrot cake and put the rest of the carrots down the garbage disposal. I don't think it made it all the way to the trap before clogging both sides of the sink
The product that you used dissolves Hair, Grease, Soap, and Toilet Paper. For best results, leave overnight to dissolve. You tested this on fresh food in a kitchen sink. In general, if the clog is fresh food and not partially decomposed, it will take longer for the enzymes to work. Second, the product line of Green Gobbler does make a Disposal and Drain Cleaner that may work better with food.
Never used the product but dealt with shipping it. In cases where it leaked GG would dissolve the shipping box to pulp in >1/2hr. Dealing with the cleanup was annoying, but can verify seeing it work real time it is effective. No harsh chemical odors either.
The stuff works...I've used it on tough kitchen sink clogs where plunging alone didn't work. Just remember it's an enzyme meant to digest organics, not an alkaline-based product, so you have to pour it down the drain and wait a few hours, not 30 minutes! Sorry to all the plumbers out there but one $20 green bottle probably saved me 400 bucks in service calls. Now if I could replace my auto mechanic.....
I had lady put instant mash potatoes down her garabge disposal to get rid of them. Took hours to unclog and was a total nightmare. She could of just thrown the box away
Roger Wakefield and FilthyFrank crossover has to happen one day. But one day I had to unclog a sink and someone shoved laminate flooring down the disposal and it chewed up the blades and got jammed in the slits on the sides. The builder did not like that back charge. I still have pictures on my work phone
I’m a second year commercial and industrial plumber. In between jobs I did a house call, an Indian woman had a clogged kitchen sink and I found hair and 4-5 teeth in her PEX tubing.
Kitchen sink drain packed full of rice but a laundry tub drain in a basement I found 2 mice i took apart the p trap and thought it was a hair ball hanging so I pulled it and it was a huge mouse then tested it still clogged snaked down about 15 ft pulled back another one drained good after that
Not saying this product would work or not, but when you don't even follow the simple instructions seems kinda pointless to even test it...... "Sinks and Tubs: Pour one chamber slowly into drain. Allow product to sit in drain for 15-30 minutes or for optimal results let it sit overnight. Then flush with hot tap water for 5 minutes. Toilets: Pour both chambers slowly into toilet. Allow product to sit at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. Once water has come down to normal level, flush toilet. Note: For difficult obstructions, repeat treatment and allow product to sit in drain overnight. Then flush with hot tap water for 5 minutes. Do not use this product on refinished surfaces and always thoroughly wipe any excess product remaining on surfaces with a wet cloth."
You used the product in the most unproductive way possible. Didn’t even leave it as it says on the instructions for 2 hours or overnight. Also, the product is meant to dissolve certain things like hair, grease, and stool, not fresh food in an unrealistic way of dumping it. For me it worked perfectly fine without many issues. You just have to read the instructions properly 🤷🏻♂️
Roger: When you say "You'll like the next video". Well the next video in my watching list that came up next? Ollie and Drain Addict! So a double whammy!
Lol not a good test at all. I don't think that much crap is in a pipe lol! This stuff works fine if you follow the instructions. I had a main line stopped up half way down. Opened it up after a couple hours. Then I put the enzyme treatment in for a couple days. Never happened again with using the enzyme additive once a month.
I was trying to drain the water out of some stuffing I made at 2 in the morning, as one does, and in my sleep deprived stupor the top came completely off and the whole pan fell into the sink…. I was so down with it I just sat the pan down defeated and went to bed hungry 😂
I hadn't seen thus video before I used GREEN GOBBLER to fix a very slow tub drain that had hair and a clear jelly in it that I guess was soap scum. And it worked fantastically. I had no cabbage blockage.......
I'd believe you if you actually followed the directions and used HOT WATER after the 30 minutes. You just looked at it shrugged it off and whipped out a plunger to finish the job
I had my kitchen sink clogged once a few years back. Went to go get a plunger locally and could not find one in time. So in an attempt to improvise i used a plastic beer pong cup. Inch of water in the sink, positioned it well and just smashed the cup jamming the entire shockwave into the plumbing. One attempt and it all ran beautifully afterwards.
I have used green gobbler in my kitchen sink on two different occasions when plunging did nothing to help. I poured one bottle in and let it sit for a few hours and then poured the hot water down. I had to use a second bottle and I left it overnight then poured the hot water over it and the drain cleared completely. On the second occasion, i poured one bottle in the drain and left it overnight, then in the morning poured the hot water over it and it cleared completely. I am very careful not to let anything like big food chunks go down my drain and I don't pour grease down the drain either. I live in a apartment building and unfortunately don't have any control over what the tenants above me shove down their drain. Thankfully, green gobbler has come to the rescue for me twice now.

Trust me people definitely let drains get fully clogged.
Oh, yes we will :). Or make that 🙄.
Roger your sense of humour is elite, love from Australia!!

I've used the liquid version and it works great
What do you do when you have a sink with two sides? The plunger isn't going to work if the clog is below the other side.
Immaculate editing
I use the powder in the toilet because the water pressure is horrible on my floor in my apartment building. I let it sit overnight and flush it in the morning. I also use it in the shower. Best $10 I've ever spent at home Depot.

The mad genetic scientists came first.
Worst I saw was dirt from potted plants, all in the garbage disposal and the trap
Having a Garbage Disposer Should Make a Significant Difference, Shouldn't It?
Since It's Shredding / Ripping Items Placed In It..
Why not just pull the P-trap and stick everything in it?
Because they're testing Green Gobbler...That would completely defeat the purpose of the test. I'm sure he knows he could have done that...
i came from the short, i need to know how it ends!
What a waist of eggs in this eggles world

used this once on a urinal we uninstalled to clean with acid. the acid didnt unclog it, but this did. so i'd say it may be situational

Not a good test on raw food
I used it on a blocked kitchen sink drain. Let it sit ovennight, hit it with boiling water, plunged it, it's draining bettter than ever.

I'm curious to see this test done again but left 'overnight' say 8-10 hours for it to dissolve the clog.
Finally some good content on TH-cam

Not realistic. Most people use Green Gobler BEFORE that kind of clog happens. Just saying
Tried this 3times on a clogged toilet DID NOT. work do not waste your money on this
but is the green gobbler good for slow drains and/or preventive maintenance?
Wrap it before you tap it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
