No one likes waiting forever for their drains to clear, whether it be in their kitchen, bathroom, or elsewhere. A quick go-to solution that many homeowners turn to for drain cleaning is the chemical solutions you can find at your local store. However, while chemical drain cleaners may seem like an easy fix to a clogged drain, you should stay away from these chemicals and reach out to a professional plumber for your drain cleaning needs instead.
Chemical drain cleaners are highly corrosive, which can be bad news for your plumbing system. Pipes can easily get damaged and break down prematurely, leading to leaking and even bursting. You don’t want to damage a major part of your plumbing system just to make clearing out a clogged drain easy, especially since oftentimes these drain cleaning chemicals don’t even work.
You’ll also want to rely on your local plumber rather than chemical drain cleaners because even if the chemical “works” and your drain seems to work better after using it, you could be unknowingly avoiding a larger issue at play. Clogged drains are often signs of something wrong with a larger part of your plumbing system, and when you have an experienced plumber handle your drain cleaning, they can also discover and diagnose what may have caused the clog and any other issues present.
Don’t rely on “quick fixes” that oftentimes do more harm than good. For all of your plumbing needs, including drain cleaning services, give us a call here at Monster Plumbing.
