Clogged drains hurt your home’s plumbing system

Published On: July 29, 2018Categories: Sewer & Drain Cleaning

When most people think of plumbing, they think about fixtures, faucets and pipes. And we all know that these items can sometimes fail and need service.

But have you ever thought about your drains? Drains are what connects all your plumbing together. If you have drainage problems, you’ll have trouble with virtually every part of your home. Clogged drains reduce the flow of water, causing problems with all the plumbing fixtures in your house. That’s why it’s important to keep your drains clean and operating properly.

Why not use a commercial liquid drain cleaner?

It’s tempting to buy a bottle of drain cleaner thinking this will solve the problem. Most of the time, it provides only a short-term solution. These products can dissolve a drain clog enough to let the water flow again, but the clog itself is still present. Only its size has been reduced, and as a result, the drain is likely to block up again.

What’s worse is that these drain cleaning products use caustic and corrosive chemicals that can be dangerous to handle. (Be very careful about breathing their fumes, too!)

The best solution to a clogged or slow-running drain is to have it professionally cleared by a licensed plumber. That’s why you should keep the phone number for The Plumbing Source handy.
