So, you have a stubborn clog, and you might be thinking about DIY. After all, if there is an easy solution, why not try it first? You may have even already bought a bottle of drain cleaner or tried a sink plunger.
But before you go any further, there are a few things you should know about chemical drain cleaners:
- They Can Push the Clog Further Down - Drain cleaners can loosen the clog just enough for it to fall down and settle deeper in your pipes.
- They Can Cause Damage to Your Pipes - No matter what your pipes are made out of or how old your plumbing system is, these types of cleaners can generate heat that no plumbing was made to withstand.
- They’re Not Environmentally Friendly - When these chemicals make it outside, they can do damage to the ecosystem.
- They Can Be Dangerous - If anyone has cleaned the sink recently with bleach or other standard cleaning chemicals, a dangerous reaction could occur when the drain cleaner comes into contact with it.
