Chemical drain cleaners might provide temporary relief for minor clogs, but they rarely solve the underlying problem and can actually make things worse. The harsh chemicals can corrode your pipes over time, especially if used repeatedly, leading to expensive pipe replacement down the road.
Store-bought drain cleaners also don’t address the root causes of recurring clogs like tree roots, grease buildup, or main sewer line issues. They might clear a small opening through the blockage, but the problem usually comes back within days or weeks.
Professional drain cleaning removes the entire blockage and cleans the pipe walls, providing longer-lasting results. If you’ve already used chemical cleaners, let us know when you call. We can still clean your drains effectively, but it helps us understand what we’re working with.
