That’s the sound... sound of VICTORY! I have heard that before! Glad you were able to experience the “ gurgle!”
Thank you Rob, great to put out some real reviews your experience helps the rest of DIY's home owners proud. Love it!
My pleasure glad to help!! Comments like yours keeps me inspired. Have a great upcoming weekend!!
Had a really bad drain in toilet. Used this and let it sit for about 36 hours, poured hot (not boiling) water, then plunged. Worked! Drains running smoothly ever since. It needs time to dissolve whatever is clogging the drain. Don’t rush, it’s not instantaneous.
Couldn't have said it any better. The longer it has time to work the better.
This is some of my worst nightmare situation, great video! I hope I'm not in this situation, EVER! but if I do, I have a pretty good idea how to fix it. Thanks! Glad you were able to fix it! 💕
I was dealing with a clogged main line today and just spent $260 but I will be pouring this down my sink once a year from now on.
Thank You for posting your review on Green Gobbler Main Line Opener 🙂It worked just as you said for me as well 🙂I had a 'plumber' come out to snake out my drain, and was quoted an outrageous price ($700 +) 🤬I sent him packing even though I had to pay for a service call for just an estimate, without him doing anything 🤬 I went out and bought 2 gallons for $20 each, poured them down the drain overnight, and washed it out the next morning with Hot Water... It worked GREAT for me on a combined kitchen and bathroom sink and tub sharing the same 2 inch drain pipe before entering the main stack. I hope anyone will consider giving it a try before being gouged by a 'plumber' in an emergency situation!! For $40, its certainly worth a try before paying $100's of $$$$$ Thank You again ... 🙂
Your welcome, glad I was able to help. It's crazy how much plumbers charge now a days.
I tried this product because of your video. This absolutely cleared the main line, so thank you very much! ♥️
You're welcome, thanks for sharing your results. Hey I did another video about a month ago. How to prevent roots from growing in your mainline. You might consider checking that out also.
So glad to find your video! I just got home from home depot with it and plan to use it in a few hours when the water level goes down some. Fingers crossed! We just had someone out a few months ago and had it snaked.
Did it work out?
I bought some of a different Green Gobbler product on a plumber's recommendation, so I watched this video while waiting for my drains to hopefully do their Green Gobblin-y thing. The suspense in this video! It was was a roller coaster ride from start to finish. Thanks for posting!
Yes it was!! Your welcome and I hope you are successful with the product your useing.
I’m going thru this exact situation, I’m so glad I found your video!! 😊 thanks!
Your welcome, hope everything works out for you. Merry Christmas in advance.
This also worked for me. I did 2 gal of the gobbler waiting 18 hours. Then boiling water. Still nothing...so I grabbed a plunger and just plunged the 1st floor toilet hard. Still nothing....I was standing there all perplexed and then I heard the sound...and down it went. Whew! So glad I found this video.
I'm glad you watched it! It's always a pleasure to get comments like yours.
That's amazing! Thanks for the video. I've already had a plumber out twice for my line and now, several months later, I'm getting backup again. I'm buying a couple of gallons of this product today.
You're welcome. Have an amazing Christmas!!
@@roundedrob1483 You too!
You are funny! I am a 70 years old lady and I bought this product. I wanted know if it works before I use it. I am going to try it and I will tell you more.
Our problem with tree roots clogging our main drain was very bad. Thank you so very much for your video. I hope we can find some in Canada. We wish you all the best for 2022!
Some people have ordered it off Amazon. I also did a video on prevent roots growth in main line.
@@roundedrob1483 Tonight, we are doing the rock salt in the toilet and flush, and then the 1 cup rock salt with very hot water. Can't wait to see the results. Thanks Mr. Rob!
@@blueRosesforme how were the results?
I am so glad it worked for you. Having your main drain line augered is terribly expensive. I had a complete blockage one time due to tree root infiltration and had to call a plumber. That was an expensive house call. I have been using a similar product to what you have there and have kept the roots in check.
What's the name of it?
@@roundedrob1483 It is made by the Scotch Chemical Company and is called Instant Power Main Line Cleaner. It goes for around $11 a gallon. Home Depot and Walmart carry it. The application is the same as for the product you used except this stuff is poured right into the cleanout.
Ok cool, I seen that product at the Home Depot.
Thank you for the video. The Green Gobbler Main Line opener worked great for me. I used it as explained in the video and all is good.
That is great news to hear. Your welcome for the advice. Have a great weekend.
Love it my guy. Love that hustle to get the shot of the water flowing through.
Most definitely had to get that shot! I was pretty stoked that it worked! Glad I could help!
TYSVM for this! Got serious problem here... Gonna follow your lead and hope I get blessed with same results! 👋🙃👍
So how did it work out??
I know you did this video a year ago. I hope you see this.
I really identified with you when you said you felt totally defeated. I am in the exact same situation you were in the video. I'm going to run out tomorrow and buy some. Thanks for the video. I hope to god it works
I almost thought it wasn't going to work. Still a firm believer of the product. How's it going?
Guess I will be going to get some of this stuff. Thank you for the video.
Your welcome, I'm glad I could help out.
After the "Not so long" waiting, glad to know that it worked :)
Best to fill your tub before the end, then drain it after the slotted time. If you think about a gallon or 2 over , say 100' of 4" pipe... it's not much flow. But the 30- 40 gallon tub flush moves it all out.
Wow!! Thanks so much for sharing and I'm happy it worked. 😃
Hi Latrice your welcome.
Great story and review! Thank you!
My pleasure enjoy your weekend!!
@@roundedrob1483 Thank you kindly! You do as well!
Great tutorial, great review and great beard man
Thanks Ethan, you having plumbing problems?
Great content! I have a trick that will help. Instead of pulling the safety seal off make your half moon shape opposite of the handle, leave it in place and put two hole on the handle side this will help the material pour smooth.
Thank you!!
I pushed down a glob of calcified hair in my shower drain thinking it would just make its way to the main line....WRONG. 2 days later, every plumbing fixture in the house was gurgling. It was blocked before the outside cleanout like yours was. The other cleanout was in the basement. I have a big house and all the 4" lines were full of water. I decided to drill a hole in the cleanout cover and let it slowly drain. I filled a 32 gallon trash can 4 times before the line was clear. Snaked it and snaked it, no luck, it was jammed up solid. I finally just put the cleanout cap on and dumped in some draino gel and waited several hours. Most of the clog was clear but when I ran the snake through the line again, out came the clump of calcified hair. Haven't had a problem for years until today. Time to get out the draino again.
Your video was so helpful! I love how you did not give up, everyone watching you have to be patient and follow this video and pray and it will work! Thank you Jesus for my brother Rounded Rob!
Well it took a while but it did work. Good thing you got it sorted out. Have a great day and be safe. Cheers
Hey brother cheers to you also, Glad to see you.
I used Green Gobbler on slow sink drains (not the industrial) and it worked wonders. I now have a main line problem, mostly due to excessive rain. I'm hoping this will at least help clear up some of the mess. Thanks for being honest in your video.
Well, being honest with myself and others. Is simple living. I use the mainline opener on all of my drains.It just makes it easy.
Cool thanks for the review. Our main line is Hella backed up.
Kalia your welcome.
This stuff really works. I use it to clear the tub drain. It's supposed to be safe for cast iron dwv.
Made in USA Bought somd going to try.
Good to wear eye protection- thanks for suggestion from New York
It's not a problem. Thanks for being part of the channel. 👍🏻
This is the best most entertaining review. Lol. Thanks Rob!
You're welcome happy new year to you.
Thank you!! I really needed to see this!!
You're welcome!!
Thank you, God bless you. This product worked great. 10 stars
I'm glad to hear everything worked out for you. You're welcome!
That was a good video Chief!!!
Thank you Tim, hope it helped.
"it doesn't seem to be doing shit." Awesomest comment ever.
Till this happened.
Hey Rob,
Tried the boiling water down the sink after my initial attempt failed. Worked like a charm it appears. Thanks for the video. I actually used "Instant Mailline cleaner." and not the Green Gobbler.
Glad to hear it worked out for you!!I I also use the Green Gobbler main line. For maintaining proper flow for all the drains. Clears out the gunk in the traps also 😉
thanks brah, good video! I was worried this stuff wouldn't work... hell yeah brah!!
nice! TY
Patrick your welcome brother,, hell yeah for sure!!
I remember when I saw this video in early 2022 and appreciate it! I had tried green gobbler for the sink and it worked great for a clog, but when the toilet clogged, the main line was so clogged (old cast iron) that the plumbers took a team with 4 of their vans, a camera, an auger, and a water jet system around 4 hours to clear it.
Now I have a clogged washer drain line. It flows slow, but overflows during the drain cycle if it isn't stopped. I just poured 1.5 gallons of the industrial gel down the line and about 0.5 gal in the toilet next to the washer. I tried snaking the line, but there is a 90 degree elbow that two different snakes (manual 3/8th and one that attaches to the drill that is 1/4) and neither way got me to get past that elbow. I was looking for the main line opener, but the only thing my local store had was the Industrial Strength Gel. It was thicker than room temperature gravy!
So, how's it going with the washer drain?
@@roundedrob1483 It worked out well. There was an initial overflow on the first drain cycle (I was watching it of course to pause it)... and after that, it's been flowing smoothly. I plan on pouring .25gal in each drain and another 1.5 gal into the washer drain line... and then doing maintenance pours every few months.
I finally got the snake down too and found nothing remaining. I also flushed the vent with water and some debris flowed (we were watching the sewer cleanout) from that... So the hair/dog hair/lint probably just clogged where the PVC terminated into the old cast iron and Green Gobbler did the trick again. It won't always help, but people also need to give it copious amounts of time to work. The Industrial Strength is supposed to work faster than the standard Green Gobbler though.
@@Enlightenmentbringer That is great news to hear!!
HI Rounded Rob. I tried the Green Gobbler in powder form because we had a giant hairball from my daughter's hair completely clogging the bathtub drain. There was no movement of water at all. We tried the green gobbler and let it sit for 7 hours, then poured boiling water down the drain. It still didn't move at all. We did the same as you and put a plunger to it shortly after we poured down the boiling water and within seconds it moved the blockage and drained the tub. I honestly think to product does help to soften the blockage and the hot water in combination with the plunger are the final steps needed to move the clog. Thanks so much for your video, it really helped us work through the issue and we really appreciate your help!
That's great news to hear!! I'm glad everything worked out for you. Have an excellent week!
Got a sub from me man. Great vid. Going to grab me some green gobbler right now. Wish me luck!
Cody good luck and thanks for being part of the channel.
the sound of victory !!
My basement flooded this weekend and I just had people come and clean out my main line this morning and I am currently researching how to never have it happen again and I will be using that stuff once a year. I have mold and yuck all over the basement that I will be dealing with for a long time but you have shown me something I can use and I will use it preventatively rather than having to use sump pumps and wet vacs and mopping.
Oh no!! that sucks Wishing B. It's not fun at all when you get a sewage back up. Yes using this product as preventive maintenance is something that I do also. Well I wish I could have helped under different circumstances.
@@roundedrob1483 Thanks. I spent $260 this time. It had happened 10 years ago and I had called Roto Rooter back then and they tried to do a scam on me where they didn't take off the cap and pretended to have tried to clear it twice and said that I needed my pipe replaced. I asked for a second opinion and the next company brought me down to the basement and showed me the old cap and said, "They didn't even open it."
@@roundedrob1483 Never again. I have now officially switched toilet paper and will be doing preventive maintenance. I am so happy that there are products to try.
@@roundedrob1483 The company that helped me said that a lot of companies pretend to not be able to clear the pipe and then dig it up and crush it at that point
@@wishingb5859 It's a real shame that there are companies that will pull that crap. Always remember worst case scenario Home Depot rents Hi Power sewer snakes.
Awesome....

👊💪🤘👍
Nice LMAO.
You are an American hero. God bless you sir.
God Bless you and your family also.
Wow! Thanks for this video. You saved me about $400! This stuff is great! Put a gallon in the basement toilet, waited 12 hours and boom! No gurgling in the shower and no slow flushing. All for $17.99!
Hey your welcome. I always enjoy hearing about people's success with it. Thanks for letting me know. I also did a video on how to prevent root growth in your main line. If roots are giving you problems also. Anyway take care and have a good one.
Did you pour it in the toilet and then flush 1 time & wait 12 hours or put in the toilet then wait 12 hours before flushing again?
Still, Check the sewer system and inspect the clean-out pipe. Just checking the inside toilet or sinks are insufficient.
what is it made of? biodegradeable surfactants, enzymes, and such things?
Nice video bud. I have a kitchen pipe that just won't drain. Picked up a bottle of this green gobbler (even though it's not green)
. Gona try it out tonight and see if this works.
Don't forget the HOT water.
So at first I poured half and waited two hours and poured hot water... Nothing. Then I poured the rest of it. Let it sit overnight. A few flushes of the dishwasher and sink and BAM the line is clear. I'm so glad I saw your video and ran back I to home depot for this. Take care.
@@MC-cv6vc So glad to hear about your success. Glad to help, Thanks for watching.
My septic tank is working just fine (house built in 1922) just by flushing a Green Gobbler packet every month and a packet of Green-Pig every 2-3 months. For me, its worth spending a few bucks to avoid having problems and the expense of digging a new drain-field. May not be related, but the enzymes do the work of preventing buildup of slime and other solids in any wastewater system.
Very good information for the people with a septic tank. Thanks for sharing Heavymechanic.
Awesome video
You r a funny guy. Love it ty
Thank you, glad I could help and put a 😃 on your face.
Late comment. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Discovered it 2 years ago. My local plumber and seems to be the only plumber of 40 of them ( I know, I called them all) wanted $192 a pop for this clearing out. In frustration, went to my local Home Depot. For around $18 I did the same job as the plumber. My problem is I have weird shaped pipes. Can't fix the pipes, but the toilet main line runs great. There's another product that maintains the line. Both are great. Some plug ups needs extra clearing.
This stuff doesn't work, save your 20 bucks a gallon
told you so it works...people just don't have the patient to wait over night...cause the thing is doing the work very hard to clean entire plumbing system..
Got to give it time to work.
Ha, OMG, it flipping worked:) Lucky you! I'm wondering if this would work for a slow drain kitchen sink. The P trap and pic pipes are clear, it's just draining slow. Glad this worked out for you. The success made it worth waking up 10 hrs later to share the results with us. LOL
I have been using this product to keep all my drains clear. Sink and kitchen. It will clear that slow drain problem.
@@roundedrob1483 Thanks for the prompt reply back Rob, I think I'll pick up a gallon on the way home from work in the next couple days and treat all the drains while I'm at it. Not working Friday so I'll do it Thursday and let it sit all night and hopefully be impressed Friday morning:) Fingers crossed for the convenient way out;) If it doesn't do the trick then...it was worth giving it a whirl and I'll move on to plan B:)
Lol this gives me hope. I ordered some off of Amazon that should come today. 🤞🏾
How much was it on Amazon?
@@roundedrob1483 almost $22!
Thanks for the video very realistic and true.. appreciate the content.
KW You are welcome.
Was going to get the green stuff because of this review. I had tried bleach with no success. Before going to home Depot I added a gallon of hot water. Was on the way out when I heard the big gurgle. No more clog! May need the green next time but not this. Thanks.
That's good news to hear! I would still purchase a gallon or two of the Green Gobbler to have on hand. Just in case you have a complete back up. Sounds like your headed that way. Good luck and enjoy the day!!
Hey Rob, really enjoyed the video. Our house was built in 76, we bought it a couple years ago and we get a back up every year or so in our mainline. A couple months we got it snaked a were told we had a 10 ft belly in our sewer line at like 30-40 ft out. Would using this method, while running and flushing hot water all at once, a day after it settles help flush the line to avoid annual backup?
Thanks man, informative and funny video. I felt your pain lol.
I definitely would use this product as preventive maintenance.
Sometimes you need the full the washing machine with water and let it spin out because that’s high pressure draining, helps push the now broke up clog through
Great point ZeRowe.
Glad it worked for you! my next door neighbor has that same problem at least once a year, we tried all sorts of stuff but it never works, the only thing that works is the snake for him, what we do after we snake it out is fill two 40 gallon garbage cans filled with water and dump them out as fast as we can into the clean out closest to his house, works every time.
Has He ever tried this product?
@@roundedrob1483 No but I will tell him about it, his pipes always have a thick jelly like coating in them, I think his tenants are throwing cooking oil down the drain.
Well who knows what they're putting down the drain but I tell you what I will be using it for drain maintenance in my sinks and tub etc. It's a great product.
@@roundedrob1483 I think maintenance is key
So I'm thinking that treating the drains once a month should prevent clogs like this from ever happening again. Good video.
For sure!! Don't hesitate to pour it in all your drains. It works great for cleaning out and maintaining. Your sink traps also.
My experience so far is at about 7min in your video (used product, no immediate results)-- with the exception of the flow-- got nothing. No flow. Before I used it, I had a decent flow (but know when I'm drawing near to a full on clog)-- so I used the product after yours and other recommendations. My prayer is that I'll hear the gurgling you mentioned (been hearing it intermittently all morning), and things will flow. I followed the instructions, so just waiting at this point. Others have said it takes more hours to work... so I'm hoping. Thanks for the video.
Make sure you don't forget about pouring the boiling water down the drain.
Wow it works
Hi Rosie it sure did, I'd just do what I did and the success rate should be pretty hi.
Just paid 325 to snake my pipes. Same problem. will try the product.
Since you got it cleaned out already. I also have a video to maintain and prevent roots from growing in you mainline.
Good, I'm gonna pick some up at Lowes tomorrow..Then the only challenge will be to stop my housemates from flushing too soon - before the gel has enough hours to finish dissolving all the paper first. We all work on different shifts, so I won't have the luxury of standing sentry in front of the downstairs bathroom door for 10 hours. Anyway, thanks so much for making this video..Hopefully, it'll work for me and save me 500+ dollars
Your welcome, good luck with the roommates. Hope they let it work out for you.
We have the same problem . Guy coming tomorrow to pump the septic tank . All sinks and toilet not draining . Only shower is working . It’s routed somewhere different thank goodness !
Will you be trying this product? If you didn't know it is safe for septic systems.
Washer Drain Pipe Is Over Flowing??? Is It Possible 🤔 It's My Overall Drain???? I Need To Know How To Check, To See Rather It's The Same Situation U Showed Us All, Or Just My Drain Pipe ( Washer In The Basement Too) ????
great video brother i hope and pray this works for me
Hey Kyle, I said a prayer for you brother. Did it work for you?
@@roundedrob1483 Thank you so much brother for the prayer! I will know when I go home today if it worked, Praying God moved that mountain
@@KB-sm6pj Hot water 💧
@@roundedrob1483 I did everything you did except I only used one gallon not 2, I forgot you used 2, so when I get home today I will check it and if not I will have to get a second jug
@@roundedrob1483 Jesus open the clog!!! With the help from your video alot of boiling water, snaked it and almost gave up ,I told my son to turn all the hot wateron and it started to back up then all sudden it bubbled and was clear!!! We were so happy to see it work, I also used 1 cup of baking soda an 1 cup vinegar
So after watching this video about a week ago I went to Home Depot and picked up two gallons. I used a gallon in in toilet, after 2 days it was still just as clogged. I used half a gallon in a toilet that I believe was the really clogged drain. 2 days later I still thought it was clogged. Fast forward to today… I went to home depot and rented the 75’ snake and took it home. I opened up the cap on the main drain clean out and noticed it was clear🧐. I decided to see how clogged it was. I was absolutely shocked that the main line was completely clear now and nothing was clogged anymore after do multiple test flushes while running all the faucets. Needless to say the product needs time to work. Don’t rush it. I am still in shock how good it worked
That is great news and a good update. Thanks for the feedback 😀 Did you use Hot water after the application?
@@roundedrob1483 nope. Just have to be patient with it and let it work
@@joeh2585 🤔 True you have to be patient and give it time. But like the directions say flush pipes out with very hot water. It helps break up the clog.
I am doing this as preventative maintenance. can I pour the main drain cleaner directly into the drain. Or, do i pour it into the lowest level loilet in the house (right next to the main drain) Thanks
Hey John I have found using it as preventative maintenance is a great idea. But I would pour it down any drain that you want to. Especially a drain that might be draining a little slower. It'll not only will clean your main line but it will clean say your trap in your sinks or bathtub. But at the end of the day I would pour the product the farthest away from the main line.
YAY!!! That was so satisfying! Is there a way to know what the end of my line is? I have two showers upstairs, two toilets upstairs, washing machine, four sinks, and a tub wash in the laundry room. Downstairs I have two sinks, a toilet, and a shower!
I would put it in the the downstairs facilities. If there is a floor based sewer that will work to. Now I also use this product for maintenance in all my sinks and tubs. To keep them flowing properly.
Thank you so much for getting back to me! Some of my drains are getting slow upstairs, and the toilet downstairs seems to clog about once a week now- so I thought this might be the perfect time!
Your welcome.
Great video by the way does this product kill tree roots thats my main issue
Nor exactly, but I did a video on how to prevent roots in mainline.
glad to see you won the war, brother!💪👍
I am to Justin.
How can you tell which drain is farthest from the main sewer line? Or which one is closest for that matter? Thank you for your videos, I do appreciate them.
Do you have a 2 story house?
I’ve used this same stuff myself. I can say I had the same problem only bigger and smellier. Had poop coming out of our tub when we flushed our toilet. Poured this down the toilet and tub and a few hours later. Like magic! Our problem was taken care of. Tried drano and every RUclips idea and nothing worked. This stuff did. I’ve also tried another green gobbler product. The one for unclogging sinks. But that was crap. Let it sit for 3 days and it didn’t work.
I also use it to keep tubs and sinks running smoothly. I completely agree with you not a fan of drano at all.
good morning... I have a question for you. My fixer upper 1970 house in Nashua, NH
I have spent the last few days dealing with feces/ toilet paper/ urine errupting out of a pipe near my laundry. My plumber came over and snaked it to the street (50 feet) but when he snaked it, poop etc went everywhere. All over my beds, clothes, etc everything I own is in my basement and now ruined. I didn't pay him yet. I find it odd that he left a completely disgusting pile of poop all over my basement. I am probably going to use what you suggested, however what do you suggest to clean everything
That's quite unprofessional!! We're you home at the time? Did you take pictures of the mess he made?
On a septic I know how frustrating this can be. I have seen people add the hot water as soon as using the product. Do you think that would have helped
Allowing time for the product to work.I believe was huge.
Thank you for the review! I’m glad they worked out with your patience and can do spirit. 👏👏👏👏 Actually I got a product recommended to pour it to the toiler called “Rooto Drain Opener” that seems more hazardous as reading the bottle. Have you ever heard of it or used the product? I’m kind of scared to use it.
I've never used that product before. I wouldn't necessarily be scared to use it. Just read all the directions and wear some PPE. Personal Protection Equipment. Safety glasses, gloves ect.
@@roundedrob1483 thank you! The bottle says it contains sulphuric acid. 🧪🧬🦠
But guess what? I was able to find the same drain opener products you used from a hardware store and I poured 2 bottles into a toilet. Nothing happened for 12 hrs and Walla! The liquid finally started passing through the toilet and all drains got open finally!!! I really appreciate you introducing this product and sharing the video of the journey and continuous tries. 👏👏👏👏👏
@@tikitakazen That is great news!! Consider watching my video on how to kill roots that grow in your main sewer line. You may find it helpful to prevent future back ups.
@@roundedrob1483 thank you so much! I really can’t thank you enough. These videos you made are lifesavers. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@tikitakazen Thanks for the kind words enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Our basement drain has been backing up when we run the washing machine. Can we pour this down the floor drain or do we have to pour it in the toilet ?
I would pour 2 gallons right into the floor drain!
Ok i will try this today my main line is backed up and stuff is going from toilet into basement utility sunk. I pray it works for us
So how's it going?
@@roundedrob1483 well mom said wait till tonight before bed to let it sit over night. Will let u kno what happens tomorrow. Thanks for asking
@@nakitawebb6911 Sounds great.
Hi Rob! I just watched your video so sorry for the late comment but I really hope this works for me🙏🏾 we have poop coming up in a basement drain in the laundry area almost everytime the toilet is flushed or when the washing machine drains. Do you think this product will work & if so, where should I pour it?
At this point I would pour it in the basement drain. In the laundry area, I would also use 2 gallons. Let it have time to work. Then use the hottest water and pour it in the basement drain.
@@roundedrob1483 I'm gonna try to find some today & pray it works!
@@ericaslayton1273 So did it work?
The sewer line is not clogged but my tub is and I used Green Gobbler drain opening pacs but it didn't unclog? Home Depot didn't have the ones you bought, where did you buy your gallons at?
Hey Zapp if Home Depot didn't have it you might want to try Lowe's. How long has it been since you poured the packets in? It takes a little time for the stuff to work. Don't forget to pour boiling water down the pipe also.
It’s really more for maintenance rather than dislodging clogs
We had a slow draining tub and I refused to pay a plumber to come over and fix this. I bought the regular Green Goblin and followed instructions to the letter. That was months ago and our plastic pipes are safe and clean. I'm a true believer in Green Gobblers products.
It works amazing. Thanks for letting the views know. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Would you answer my question here? I have double bathroom sinks. Running water in one will eventually cause the other to gurgle, then both sinks back up. Eventually, the water drains from both sinks. Would the Main Line Opener be right or is another Green Gobbler product better?
Hey John just use the main line that should work pour it down both drains. Let it sit as long as possible then pour hot or boiling water down the drain.
@@roundedrob1483 I used the main line product yesterday afternoon on the bathroom sinks. I got water backed up in the two sinks, then divided the gallon between the two. An hour later, the water had drained out of both sinks, typical flow. I began pouring boiling water in one sink and it flowed straight through without a sound. This morning when I let a sink of water out, I actually got a little whirlpool and that sucking sound. Your video helped me decide to use this product. Thank you.
@@jjohnjjr Your welcome John glad to help.
Have a question one toilet makes bubbles sound when water goes down. And also when we use the washer the sink and bathroom makes a bubbly sound.can I poured each toilet a gallon?
I would for sure. Your right on the verge of a complete back up. Similar to my situation. Put them both in before you go to bed. So it has time to work, don't forget the hot water.
I have a belly and roots in my line and the water is coming out of the basement floor drain and basement shower. I'm going to Home Depot to purchase this product I pray this works. I don't have 10k right now to fix this problem. Should pour one bottle into the sink and one bottle in the floor drain?
I would pour both in the floor drain!! Give it as much time possible to work!!! Then the hot boiling water!! Keep me updated 🙂
I believe I brought the wrong kind. I brought the industrial clog dissolver instead of the drain opener. I pray it works the same!
Okay folks, I poured a 1 gallon bottle of Green Gobbler Main Line Opener (GGMLO) in the toilet flushed and 1 gallon of the GGMLO down the Tub drain and it is 10pm Pacific time and will give your an update on tomorrow morning
Sounds good.
okay folks update: The GGMLO did not resolved the problem too well. What I mean is it was too much stuff down there after using the GGMLO it started flush with no backup and then later on it was backed up again. I boiled a big pot of hot scorching water and poured it down the tub. We decided to call the plumber to fix the issue and we will be flushing Rock Salt down the toilet every 3 months to help prevent this from happening again.
@@aperxmim How much hot water did you use?

I have had an issue with a gurgling toilet. When I run washing machine my toilet will gurgle and toilet water goes down. It has also gurgled at times and water went down when cleaned dishes. Will putting that product down toilet and bathroom sink help this problem or put in all sinks and the toilet?
Pour a gallon down the toilet and a gallon down the sink. Put it in the toilet first. Flush then pour a gallon in the sink. Do it before bed so it can work all night.
A few weeks ago my daughter dumped rice down the kitchen sink, we also have dogs that shed all over clothes and bedding. Well a couple weeks ago the utility sink and kitchen sink is holding water draining slowly. The utility sink fills up when we wash clothes and takes about a day to slowly drain down. Do you think this would work? From what I can tell all pipes flow towards the washer then underground so should I pour it in there? Or one of the other sinks
I'd use 2 gallons and pour one full gallon in each problem area.
Thanks, gonna have to order it since not sold anywhere nearby will let you know how it works
@@jbwh28No Home Depot near you?
I like how the end is like a ghost hunting video.
😁 I guess it kinda has that feel to it. Now that you brought it up. 😁
Will this stuff get rid of tree roots? I have tree roots in my main and I’m about to have a company come dig it up and replace the pipe. It’s going to cost over 1000$ though. Please let me know if this would work on getting rid of them
This product will help remove the build up that is between your roots. Allowing to get flow back. But I also did a video on using Rock Salt to kill roots in the main line. Green Gobbler also makes a root killer maybe try all three. Cheaper than a replacement. pipe.
None of my faucets are clogged but the toilets and tub seemed to have gotten clogged at the same time. Just paid $770 to snake from the roof and 9 days later same issue. Now they want to charge $89 to come out and check the problem again.
Hope you are doing well. Drainage problems are not fun. How are you doing?
I have a new main line and sewer line ten thousand dollars. Still have a clog!!! Wonder if I can pour this in a vent drain
Jared WHAT????
I have 1 bathroom in my home,and it’s on the 2nd floor.Would I still use this in the toilet and tub,or would I have to pour it down the drain in the kitchen sink?
If you have a floor drain in the basement. You can pour in there. In your case, it doesn't matter. Unless the second floor drains slowly. This product works great for slow drains also.
All I have to say is this product works but you have to let it sit overnight and make sure you pour boiling hot water after but it does work 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Absolutely right 💯
Ìs great
What if the toilet won't flush? Mine is clogged and has a very slow drain and won't flush. Should this be poured into a toilet anyway and sit overnight? Or should an auger be tried first?
Have you tried a toilet plunger?
🪠 Plunger 🪠
what do I do if I have standing water in my tub, the toilet won't flush and I have no septic clean out? will this work?
I would pour 2 gallons in the tub drain. Like I said the product is heavier than water. So it will get to the problem. Give it time to work then use 🔥water.
So at this point did you also do the rock salt treatment to make sure the roots were cleared out?
Yes for sure.
What is that?
@@trishdigginsflush a cup or two of rock salt at night before going to bed or when your going to be away for 8 hours. The salt will kill roots and keep the sewer line clear 👍
Just a recommendation bud:
You can leave the video camera on the pipe and run up and flush the toilet and see the recording after, or have one video camera on the pipe and another one with you.
