What You Need to Know About Store-Bought Drain Cleaners

In reality, the chemicals and other harmful ingredients in store-bought drain cleaners can eat away at your pipes and corrode them from the inside out, which can lead to even bigger problems in the future.

They Don’t Address the Root Problem

While they may temporarily clear your drain, these products don’t address the real cause behind a clog. While it may have been caused by built-up hair and soap scum, a clog may also be caused by hard water buildup or a tree root. If those are the case, you’re going to need much more than a store-bought cleaner to avoid another clog in the future.

Professional Drain Cleanings are a Better Option

Especially if you find yourself struggling with a recurring clog, the best way to handle the issue is by having your drain professionally inspected and cleaned. Your plumber will able able to find and address any larger, underlying causes of the clog and safely remove it without putting your plumbing at risk.
