Yes, acid will decompose a dead animal in a roof vent pipe. Lye or refined lye caustic soda will dissolve organic materials without hurting the pipes. But the best way to remove the obstruction would be the hook end of a coat hanger, the retriever head of a sewer snake, or the treble hook of a strong cord.
no
Yes. It is an aquatic animal that lives underwater. There are different breeds of it like the ghost pipe fish. There are over 200 breeds of it.
none
What kind of pipe? Is this area exposed to acid rain?
Muriatic acid is a very dangerous type of acid. You need to wear gloves and protective eye goggles when using it. No, you cannot use muriatic acid without diluting it to unclog a PVC drain pipe.
YES
Using muriatic acid in galvanized pipe is not recommended, as it can react with the zinc coating, leading to corrosion and damage to the pipe. Muriatic acid is highly acidic and can deteriorate the protective layer of zinc, ultimately compromising the integrity of the pipe. If you need to clean or remove rust, consider using less aggressive methods or products specifically designed for galvanized surfaces. Always follow safety precautions when handling acids.
Its kind of joints pipe (branch) to the primairly pipe causing blockege due to cold weather (frozen) or due to debris and sluges accumalations
No, PVC is quite resistant to chemical attack. If you use the acid properly, you shouldn't have to worry about it at all.
Very Carefully! :) Use dilute acid.(the process is faster when you use strong acid). Attention: Use proper googles and safety globes.
no, that's xylem
PVC pipe is not affected by acid. Why would you pour acid down your drain in the first place? It will not cure any problem you have.
