Every homeowner is happy to find a bargain. But when the issue is a clogged drain, and you are thinking about using a jug of chemical drain cleaner to “save a few bucks,” you might want to rethink that plan.
Liquid drain cleaners sound great. But what they never tell you about is the possibility of doing more damage to your home’s drain lines than good. Today, we will set the record straight and hopefully save many homeowners from making a very costly mistake. Here are the reasons that plumbers everywhere warn their customers against ever using chemical drain cleaners.
The Potential For Pipe Damage Is Huge
The chemicals found in drain cleaners could easily damage your drain pipes. Hydrochloric acid and other acidic ingredients are meant to eat away clogs. When they are stuck in your drain and only coming into contact with a small amount of the clog, they can’t do the job. But drain cleaners are not smart. So they remain focused in that small section of pipe, creating heat and dissolving your drain pipe. Plastic drain lines are no match for acid-based chemical drain cleaners. The jug even says to flush with hot water. But when the line is clogged, the hot water cannot wash the acid away.
The Potential Health Risk
If you read the label on drain cleaner, it clearly warns against getting the liquid on your skin, in your eyes, or inhaling the fumes. That should tell you all you need to know. And the issues can be even more concerning if you have any breathing problems. Even worse, the fumes can linger in your home for hours or even days after you pour that chemical cocktail down the drain. So you are potentially exposing your loved ones and pets to the caustic chemical fumes.
Only A Short Term Solution At Best
If you are very fortunate and the chemicals manage to remove part of the clog, you will see some water moving down the drain. But there is no way to know how much of the clog was removed. And how much is still there waiting to flood your home in a few days. So you have endured handling toxic chemicals and breathing noxious fumes for a partial solution.
