We have a drain pipe that has gotten clogged in the past. We have a mesh strainer now and are careful about putting greasy stuff down the sink and don't use the garbage disposal much.
Monday night, to do some preventative maintenance, I poured Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver down the kitchen sink and left it overnight, per the instructions. Tuesday morning, I poured very hot water down the drain, again per the instructions. Tuesday afternoon, I came home after my wife had run the dishwasher, and saw that water had pooled in the cabinet underneath the sink. Whenever I turned on the faucet, water leaked from the bottom of the garbage disposal. Thinking it was dead, I made an appointment for Thursday for a plumber to come and replace the disposal.
But today, Thursday, the disposal is mysteriously no longer leaking. Could the issue somehow have resolved itself? Maybe the dissolver and the hot water loosened an internal seal and then it hardened back up or something? Is that possible?
Anyone ever had experience with something like this? Seems very weird that it could stop leaking like that.
