Using lye for a sewer backup is not recommended. Lye is a caustic substance that can cause severe damage to pipes and may not effectively clear the blockage. Additionally, it poses safety risks to users and can create harmful fumes. It's better to use a plumber's snake or consult a professional for sewer issues.

Can you use PTFE on steam pipework?
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is generally not recommended for use on steam pipework due to its temperature limitations and potential for degradation under high temperatures and pressures associated with steam. While PTFE can handle temperatures up to about 260°C (500°F), steam systems often operate at higher temperatures and pressures, which can compromise the integrity of PTFE seals or gaskets. It's essential to use materials specifically designed for high-temperature and high-pressure steam applications to ensure safety and reliability.
What chemical do you use to break down crude oil?
You don't use any... It's called Distiling... Crude oil is a micture of diffrent lengths of Hydrocarbons and they each boil at diffrent tempretures so the Crude Oil is put into a big tube (sort of) and then heated up and each set of hydrocarbons will boil at a different tempreture and will reach the top of the tub were it is then collected... Very basic answer... Search Fraction Distillation for more info!

What is a plumbing trap?
When the pipe goes down, and back up, and back down again, the first "up-curve" is called the trap because when the water goes down the drain, not all of it goes back up and down again (thanks to gravity). So there is a little bit of water there and it prevents any gas/odors from coming back up the sewer pipe. Provided that the pressure on the sewer-side of the trap does not exceed atmospheric pressure on the drain-side, the water will not get forced back up. Provided that the water is not allowed to evaporate, there will always be water there. And provided that there is enough water such that the top of the inside curve of the up-turn is lower than the top of the trapped water level, the trapped water will seal out the sewer gas.
