1. Why You Shouldn 'tUse Chemical Drain Cleaners

2. Got a pesky clogged drain? It's just a matter of when as a property or business owner, but you're probably well aware that you'll run into a blockage. You might be tempted to buy a chemical drain cleaning product from your neighborhood hardware shop because clearing a clogged drain can take some time. These items are the quickest and simplest ways to get your drains moving because they frequently claim to clear out your drain and get it flowing again in as little as a few minutes. However, this situation definitely illustrates the adage "if anything seems too good to be true, it probably is." The obstructions can be eaten away by chemical drain cleaners, but they don't do so randomly. They are utterly harmful to your drain, your entire plumbing system, and even your entire home only based on this fact. Here are a few reasons why you should use the service of the professional and experienced plumber in St Marysand avoid these caustic chemical drain cleaner products at all costs. Introduction

3. They Don’t Really Eliminate the Problem The majority of drain cleaner products contain a highly potent acid that is intended to attack and eat away at the blockage in order to free it and enable flushing of it away. They don't typically do this though. Most of the time, gravity gets in the way and compels the acid to just consume the portion of the blockage that it can really touch. This indicates that the majority of the time, only the portion of the clog near the pipe's bottom is taken away. This alone can sometimes restore smooth flow to your pipe. Your drain can flow quickly enough to make you believe the problem has been remedied because of the greater space in the obstruction. The clog's hole, however, quickly fills back up because to its small size, and before you know it, the clog is back and needs to be removed once more. The problem was never really solved.

4. They’re Dangerous for You & Your Family Remember how drain cleaners are a really strong acid? Drain cleaners are frequently acids with the same strength and capacity for dissolution as battery acid. If you are exposed to battery acid for an extended period of time, it can result in serious burns and possibly lifelong disfigurement. This implies that even a tiny bit of drain cleaner on your skin could cause excruciating agony and permanent scars. Why would you want to use a product like that in your house, where your children or pets could accidently come in contact with it? Even a small drop has been known to eat through clothing, ruin work boots, and even result in burns that take weeks to cure. Plumbers often have to put their tools, or worse, their hands, down the toilet when they can't cure the issue. This damages tools and could seriously hurt visitors who come to attempt to address your problem properly.

5. They Damage Your Plumbing Remember how they can eat through clothing as well as clogs? Drain cleaners, on the other hand, consume everything they come into contact with. Yes, your pipes are included in it as well. They actually damage your pipes more than anything else, in my opinion. Particularly in spots where the acid might pool and settle, like plumbing traps, the acid in a drain cleaner makes your pipe thinner and more brittle. This weak place could soon develop into a microfracture, and soon after that, the fracture could turn into a leak that harms the sink's underside. Acid that travels deeper down your drain continues to harm every other line it encounters, which increases the likelihood that your lines will leak later on. This can result in severe issues like slab leaks, which are extremely difficult and invasive to fix. So it is essential to take the advice from a professional and experienced plumber in St Marysbefore using these types of products.

6. They’re Bad for the Environment When that acid does finally make it to your sewer, what happens to it? Well, it enters the public sewer system and stays there. Acids have been proven to contaminate groundwater, alter lakes, rivers, and oceans drastically, and even kill species. Although you might not think that a small quantity of acid would make much of a difference in the big scheme of things, the truth is that even modest amounts of acid from a large number of people can swiftly cause drastic changes in our delicate environment. "Avoid using drain cleaners. Call the professional plumber in St Marysto remove your drain clog properly without the dangers of harmful chemical products. If you find yourself dealing with repeated clogs and slow running drains, there is a good chance that there is a bigger problem that has already begun to take place within the plumbing system.
