Why Not?
The first question we get from homeowners when we’re trying to deter them from using store-bought drain cleaners is “why?” When you walk down the aisle for chemical drain cleaners, you’ll see plenty of cheap options promising fast, effective, and permanent solutions. While these punchy logos might promise you the word, the reality is much more dismal. Drain cleaners like this are really hard on your drains. If you take a closer look at the bottle, you’ll notice the insistent instructions to use gloves and eyewear when pouring these chemicals down your drain. All the corrosive chemicals that are used to dissolve drain clogs can really end up damaging your pipes.
The problem with store-bought drain cleaners is that they don’t have an “off” button. So yes, a chemical drain cleaner will eat through all the grime and sludge in your pipe, but more often than not it will eat through your pipe too. There’s no quality control on a store-bought drain cleaner in the way that there is when you hire a professional technician to solve this problem for you.
This is especially true if the drain cleaner can’t work through the clog. When this happens, the chemical drain cleaner just sits on top of the clog eating away at the pipe surrounding it. There are way too many ways that your chemical drain cleaner can damage your system. The smartest thing to do is always to trust a professional.
