Draino Caused Leak?

gazjnr

howdy all,
a recent sink blokeage led to the use of draino which after a few hours unblocked the sink but now the back join of the p trap has developed a leak. now the pipes are very old brass and there is rust all around the join, and that green build up would the draino have eaten away at the rubber seal (if any) or just eaten away the rust to cause the leak?
help please....

help with what? the pipe was obviously in bad condition, the leak probably would have happened very soon, the draino just ate away the last of the rusty crudy shi#. welcome to ct

Call Saul Goldberg and sue the pants off Draino, use that money to go to trade school and learn plumbing.
