Ed,

The hammering heard was the device itself. That type of drain cleaner
works by pulsation and breaks up the clog. There is never (can I say
never) a sudden release of the clog that would cause the pressure
differentials you are talking about. The action of the device causes no
more pressure differentils than opening and closing a garden hose
nozzle.
