I have tried it once on my PVC pipes, and it worked just fine, but now you have me doubting. This is definitely a question I would ask a plumber. Any plumbers out there? @Ian,

I have not yet tried boiling water, but I will give it a go. Not sure that it will make it down to the clog, though. About the plunging method, I had heard that it can be bad for pipes, particularly PVC pipes. Is that true?
