That plumber who told me to stop using chemical drain cleaners

Met an old plumber named Mike at a supply house in Austin last Tuesday, and he said 'that blue goop just eats your pipes from the inside out' - now I'm snake-only after he showed me a corroded copper line from a $3 bottle of Drano.

Blue goop just eats your pipes from the inside out" - man, that is PERFECT. I had a similar talk with a guy at my local hardware store. He said he sees Drano damage way more than clogs now. It's wild how something that cheap can cause so much trouble down the road.

Mike was right about Drano but your pipes would've been copper not copper line.
