Unclog Drains Safely: Chemicals Can Do More Harm Than Good

No one wants to deal with a clogged drain, but it’s a common problem for homeowners and business owners. Whether you have a slow drain or a complete backup, you might be tempted to purchase a chemical drain cleaner for a quick, convenient solution. Unfortunately, chemical cleaners can end up doing more harm than good. Follow along as Curt & Jerry Sewer Service explores the dangers of using chemical cleaners and explains why professional drain cleaning services are a safer option.

The Risks of Chemical Drain Cleaners

Chemical drain cleaners are plagued with harsh ingredients that can weaken or corrode your pipes over time, risking permanent damage that requires costly repairs. Older pipes and those made from materials like PVC are even more susceptible to chemical corrosion. The bottom line is that harsh chemicals might successfully break down clogs, but they don’t typically address the root problem and could cost you a steep price.

Why Professional Drain Cleaning Is Better

Instead of turning to chemical cleaners for a quick fix, consider the benefits of hiring a professional to clear out your drain. A professional will utilize safe and effective tools to unclog your drains without damaging your pipes. The team at Curt & Jerry Sewer Service uses Spartan Equipment, which is more durable, safe, and powerful than other equipment across the industry. We understand that you get better results with better equipment.

When You Should Call a Professional

You should call in a professional if you experience slow drainage in your plumbing fixtures, frequent clogs or backups, unpleasant odors or gurgling sounds from your drains, or multiple drains backing up at once. Don’t just rely on a quick fix, but rather call in a professional who can properly diagnose your issue and then repair it with a long-lasting solution.
