When your drains are clogged, over-the-counter drain fluid may seem like the most accessible and affordable option, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Although many Kanata households choose drainage cleaners because they are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased from almost any corner store, their negative consequences greatly outweigh the benefits. These harmful chemicals do more than just attempt break down materials that are clogging up the drain, as you will soon see.
One of the significant adverse effects of over-the-counter drain cleaners is that they wear out metal pipes and seals that prevent your plumbing from leaking. In addition, if over-the-counter drain fluid is mixed with certain chemicals that are already in the pipe, the result can be toxic for the entire household. Liquid plumbing chemicals are lethal if ingested, and truly should not be kept around the house, especially if there are small children. Kanata is a suburban community, and with experts like the folks at John the Plumber Kanata around, there is really no need for such toxic chemicals in your home.
This is why Kanata plumbing service John the Plumber recommends that homeowners contact the professionals the moment a clog is discovered. Although drain cleaning products may seem like the cheaper immediate solution, they may cost you much more in the long run. Toxic fumes, costly and messy clean up, wear and tear on your existing, previously sound plumbing…the list is endless.
