Chemical drain cleaners—like Drano—may seem like a convenient solution to clogged drains, but did you know that they can actually cause damage to your plumbing system? Here’s what you need to know before using Drano and when to call the plumbers at Bovio Rubino Service.
Drain Cleaners Contain Dangerous Chemicals
- Drano and other cleaners are a safety hazard because they’re made up of toxic chemicals that can burn your skin or be deadly if consumed.
- These harsh chemicals create dangerous vapors and can even explode when mixed with other cleaning products.
- The toxins found in drain cleaners eventually make their way into streams and rivers, poisoning local plants and wildlife.
Chemical Cleaners Cause Damage to Your Plumbing
- Repeated use of Drano will corrode PVC pipes and easily wear down pipe sealants.
- The chemicals found in these cleaners are corrosive and will crack porcelain fixtures, like sinks and toilet bowls.
- Chemical cleaners can cause more harm than good, leading to the need for emergency plumbing repairs.
Drain Cleaners Are a Temporary Fix
- In order to work properly, chemical cleaners need to be applied directly to the source of a clog, which is usually located out of reach deep within your piping system.
- As the cleaner works its way through your pipes, it will bring other debris with it. This can end up making your clog worse.
