I had the cast iron pipes of a single family home destroyed by a tenant that used a heavy duty drain cleaner... the kind with the bottle inside a secondary plastic purse.

The acrid cleaner turned the cast iron into Swiss cheese.

If the pipes had been ABS plastic they would have been fine...

I have a garbage disposal and I make clean information technology with lemon juice and baking soda and you lot can as well employ vinegar on information technology to keep the smell downwardly but I don't use it . I don't trust them for some reason and my mom was forever having to phone call someone on the darn thing so I don't even use mine . Best bet is to just not use it and throw your garbage in the garbage tin stop of story .

Simple reply - the Draino volition corrode the interior of the disposal. Use enough, and the disposal will leak, requiring a new disposal. I've had disposals and some memorable experiences with them. I now just have a small wet garbage container well-nigh the sink.

If the disposal won't run and merely makes a bustling racket when you flip the switch, it'due south got a jam. Employ a ane/4" allen wrench in the hole in the bottom of the disposal, and turn it back and forth, not full circles. And then go a flashlight and look in the disposal for the affair that was jamming it.

I but replaced my disposal...the erstwhile ane even so worked but one of the pipes was leaking and that disposal was difficult to attach to the sink, so when I pulled it off to fix the leak, I bought a disposal that was a lot easier to install. I don't put anything much down the disposal on purpose...my mom was putting cantaloupe downwardly hers every day and wondered why information technology quit working.

Try the above OP, I did and information technology worked for me....I put a bunch of parsley (stems and all) downward the disposal (yeah, yes, I know.....) and it got jammed up. I did the baking soda/vinegar thing, allow information technology sit for nigh 20 minutes while I had a big pot of water boiling on the stove. Poured the hot h2o in the disposal while running it and the clog was cleared.

I do as someone else mentioned earlier - throw all garbage in the garbage. I don't demand annihilation else "breaking" haha
