Why Choose Professional Drain Cleaning?
The Dangers of Do-It-Yourself Drain Cleaning
Store-bought drain cleaners are some of the most hazardous chemicals you can find in your home. While they may promise quick fixes, these chemicals pose significant risks to your health, safety, and home’s plumbing system. Let's explore why DIY drain cleaning with these products can be more harmful than helpful.
Types of Chemical Drain Cleaners
- Alkaline Drain Cleaners: Contain sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
- Acidic Drain Cleaners: Contain sulfuric acid.
- Other Chemicals: May include bleach, lye, and various other corrosive agents.
Risks of Chemical Drain Cleaners
Health Hazards
Chemical drain cleaners work by causing a reaction with the material clogging your drain, which can be highly caustic. When using these products, you must pour them slowly and wear skin and eye protection to avoid severe chemical burns, respiratory issues, and even blindness from accidental contact.
Ineffectiveness on Deep Clogs
These cleaners are effective at removing organic matter near the drain opening but often fail to clear obstructions further down the drain pipe, especially in toilets and floor drains.
Potential for Damage
Due to their alkaline nature, many drain cleaners can corrode your pipes and damage surfaces in your kitchen or bathroom, including plated metals, wood, painted surfaces, aluminum, and fiberglass.
