We see drain-cleaning chemicals everywhere. They’re in hardware stores, grocery stores, and even at gas stations. They’re so easy to find that it’s pretty normal for our customers and neighbors to think that they’re handy, household tools to stock up on and use. That’s an assumption we don’t fault anyone for making.
But the truth is that these chemical solutions don’t work as well as you think they do, and they can actually cause more harm than good a lot of the time. They’re a convenient solution for a customer who doesn’t know what’s going on deep beneath the surface of their drain, but a little bit of information can change that.
