There are far more spontaneous/favorable reactions that are exothermic than there are ones that are endothermic. This is because releasing heat to the surroundings is thermodynamically beneficial---it helps increase the entropy of the surroundings. So if you want to get something done, exothermic reactions tend to be good. It could also be that the heat evolved helps dissolve, loosen, etc. whatever is clogged. The other things plummers do is piping... they burn propane to heat copper pipe and solder fittings on. It is good to have an exothermic reaction there to melt the solder.

Contrast endothermic and exothermic reactions?
Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that use heat as part of the reactant. Heat is absorbed into the reaction in order for it to continue. Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat as a product of the reaction.

Why do plumbers use flux?
You need flux to solder pipes properly. However many modern plumbers never solder, they use plastic or composite pipe like PEX.

Why do plumbers use fraction in their career?
Plumbers commonly need to use fractions in their career. The reason for this is that the pipes that they use is measured primarily in fractions, such as 1 3/4' pipe. Plumbers often have to custom make fittings, which requires them to be able to calculate in fractions in order to get a good fit.
