Help, Jeff and divadawn, did the same stupid thing, thought I had it blocked
off but self leveling cement went into the floor drain. It is the only drain
affected, bought some back set on line because it said it would dissolve
concrete, but come to find out the self leveling cement is epoxy based and it
will not dissolve epoxy based cement. Is there something that can resolve
this without digging up the floor? What did the two of you do for your
problem? Please help if you can.

Is the drain made of PVC/ABS or metal? How old is the house?
If it's plastic, you could put muriatic acid down it which will dissolve it.
If it's metal or there is reason to believe the pipe beyond is metal,
then the acid thing is has risk, as the acid will also affect the pipe.
Not sure which will win. The concrete will react more, but if you have
2" worth of that to dissolve and only 1/8" of metal pipe, who knows.
I guess you could mix up some more of the cement
let it harden, then put it in a plastic bucket with a piece of steel pipe
and see the effects on both.
