Chemical Drain Cleaners Can Damage Plumbing

Although sometimes effective, it’s a known fact that many chemical drain cleaning products do more harm than good, especially if you rely on them too heavily.

• First: Drain cleaners don’t totally eliminate the problem. Many of these products use acid to break up and dislodge the obstruction allowing it to be flushed out of the system, but that doesn’t always happen. Most of the time, the dislodged material flows deeper into your plumbing system where –– you guessed it –– it thickens and causes another clog.
• Second: These acids can corrode and weaken joints and pipes, leading to leaks and bursts. Also, because these chemicals travel throughout your plumbing system, they can wreak havoc all the way down to the foundation.
• Third: Chemical drain cleaners are bad for the environment. The acids used in these products get into the public sewer system and can contaminate groundwater.

Professional plumbers use safe, effective methods to clean drains, which is why you’re better off hiring someone with experience instead of fixing the problem yourself.

Plumbers Understand Drain Systems

Most business owners and property managers know that drains take water away from sinks, tubs, and showers to a treatment facility, and that’s about it. However, it’s best to hire someone who has a deep understanding of how commercial drains work when something goes wrong. You can only get that by calling an experienced professional plumbing company. Professional plumbers can diagnose a clog’s cause and location more quickly than the average person, saving you time and money.

Plumbers Are Insured

As a business owner or property manager, the last thing you need is more damage to your system trying to fix a problem yourself. In some cases, the cost to fix a DIY repair gone wrong will come out of your pocket.

Professional plumbing contractors carry insurance to protect you and your property from damage caused by repairs. The bottom line is that hiring a commercial plumbing company to fix your clogged drains gives you a better, quicker result that’s safe for your plumbing system.
