Drain Cleaners: Pros and Cons

There are many advantages to using a drain cleaner. However, there may be some things you may want to be aware of before you use one. Here are some pros and cons to using commercial drain cleaners.

Pros: – Commercial drain cleaners are easy to use. You simply unscrew the lid, pour the drain cleaner down the sink, and you are done. It is an easy process, and requires no dismantling of your sink.

- There is little worry that a drain cleaner will damage your pipes. Drain cleaners work using a chemical reaction. There won\’t be any scraping or metal going down your pipes. – You don\’t need to have any training to use drain cleaners. No professional equipment needs to be called in, and you don\’t need to have any technical knowledge to use a drain cleaner. Most drain cleaners are already made up, so you don\’t need to be a plumber to use it.

Cons: – Drain cleaners may have pollutants in them. The manufacturer may have passed inspection, but you never know exactly what contents you are putting down your drain unless you research the ingredients inside. As much as you may trust the manufacturer, if it did have pollutants in them the odds are they wouldn\’t publicize it, now would they?

- Drain cleaners will attack all possible clog substances. It will take the time to attack every possible substance in the piping. You may have one issue in the drain, but your drain cleaner won\’t know the difference.

- A liquid drain cleaner will leave a residue when it is used. Eventually that residue could possibly continue to build, and then end up causing the clogging problem. Liquid drain cleaners don\’t do the same type of cleaning job that cleaning rods and brushes do.

While there are a few drawbacks, drain cleaners have provided very satisfactory results. Their convenience and ability to resolve minor plumbing clogs have made them a very popular choice. Decide for yourself whether you should use them or not.
