Don’t Try to Remove the Clog Yourself!

If you have experienced a drain clog in the past, you know how frustrating it can be. You may have tried to snake it out yourself or pour store-bought cleaner down the drain. Both of these techniques can be damaging to your drain, and one of them can be harmful to you and the environment as well. The drain snake may not pose a serious threat but can damage piping if used incorrectly. However, the drain cleaner has far more risks:

• Drain cleaning products contain lye. Lye is a chemical that has been used in small amounts in soaps and detergents
• High concentrations of lye can corrode the pipe through a thermal reaction
• Store-bought drain cleaners can cause burns to the skin, eyes, and lungs
• These products are terrible for the environment
• Unfortunately, these risks don’t actually mean the product will completely work. Typically, biofilm and other sludge is left behind which leaves something for new clogs to cling to

The best way to remove a clog is to call a plumber and schedule an appointment.

Easy Way to Get Rid of Clogs is Prevention

The easiest way to avoid clogs is to be cognizant of what is going down your drains and be flushed in your toilet. Of course, there will be normal use of the drains and toilets–soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, and even small bits of food debris from the kitchen. However, there are a few things you should avoid at all costs:

• GREASE– grease solidifies in your pipes causing clogs
• TOO much toilet paper
• FEMININE products and wet wipes (some may say flushable, do so at your own risk)
• FOOD– a garbage disposal is not a trash can
• HAIR– everyone sheds some hair while in the shower, consider a hair trap to cut down on what goes into your plumbing
