Drain Cleaning

Blockages are often the result of an accumulation of human wastes, hair, paper products, grease, soap, and other foreign materials. Such materials are normally deposited in drains, pipes, and sewer lines, but the design of piping systems, the quantity of material(s) introduced into the line, and flow problems allow the occurrence of blockages.

Most homeowners attempt to free these blockages by using caustic drain cleaners. Chemical and enzymatic drain cleaners are potentially dangerous to use. They are reactive with human tissue in a similar manner as to the organic materials in drain blockages. Hazardous and toxic gases may be generated, as well as spattering and/or eruptions.

Recommendations have been made to use preventive methods such as avoiding pouring grease down drains; using strainers to trap food, hair, and other articles; regular biological/enzymatic treatments; and/or, pouring hot water down the drain weekly to keep the drain free flowing.

If a drain requires cleaning, consumer advocates recommend the use of mechanical devices, followed  by removal and cleaning of traps and cleanout plugs. Chemical cleaners are recommended only as a last resort; if the chemical drain cleaner fails to work, a professional should be contacted.
