Chemicals do work well, depending on the blockage, and type of chemical.

Drano sucks, go for the gusto! The shit that will kill you if you f7ck up.

If it's biologic material, the Sulphuric acid will work, just read the instructions and wear gloves, eye protection, and clothes you don't mind getting ruined.

If it's plastic like a toy, the acid won't do anything and you'll likely need a plumber. If you have metal pipes, especially copper do not use Sulphuric acid! The good news here is (from what you've said). It sounds like a blockage, and not a broken pipe

Sounds like a main blockage. You may need to get a plumber to remove the blockage. I know in the states you can get a bottle of main line clearing stuff (it's literally Sulphuric acid)

One brand here are instant power main line cleaner https://images.app.goo.gl/ZgFfLZwrVpiAFbKRA

Shit.. I can search home depot Canada...

Reply to drilling holes into sterilite box by msawwan3

It's the plastic heating up and melting while the bit is going through. Might sound stupid but chill the bit and the box before drilling and that should help, also try to go through faster, but stay safe. You don't want a drill bit in your hand or thigh.

And yes that bit is going to be subpar for the work you're trying to do. Harbor freight has cheap bits that'll do what you want https://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/drill-driver-bits/high-speed-steel-drill-bit-set-13-piece-61723.html

These ones won't be good for much, but the light plastic, they'll be great.
