If you are staring down the barrel of a clogged drain, aside from a magic wand, a speedy and inexpensive DIY solution might seem like the next best bet. After a quick google, you’ll be flooded with home remedies, harsh chemicals, and flimsy looking snaking tools. Our plumbing experts at Lange Plumbing & Fire Protection are all for the DIY spirit, however, when it comes to a system as complicated and sensitive as your drains, it might be better to call on a professional.
A small clog can sometimes tell a big story. If you’re experiencing multiple slow drains in your home, it can be a sign of sewer line issues, while other clogs might reveal pipe damage. Today, we’re sharing why a small clog can spell big problems for people who take their drains into their own hands.
Store-bought drain cleaning products are everywhere, but they aren’t all made the same. In fact, a great number of these liquid cleaners can do more harm than good.
3 reasons to forgo liquid cleaners:
If you decide to pass on store-bought cleaners for a more natural solution, you can still run into challenges. Unfortunately, there is no “one size fits all” solution to clogged drains, which means even effect home remedies can fall flat if used on a problem that calls for something else.
Take the baking soda and vinegar trick. This home remedy has been used for years to bust clogs, despite the fact it doesn’t work on every type of clog. For clogs made up of debris and gunk buildup, this natural combination can work wonders. However, if you have a grease clog on your hands, the baking soda and vinegar will do little more than fizz above the problem.
Our licensed plumbers have seen hundreds, if not thousands of clogs, so we have the skill, tools, and expertise to accurately diagnose your clog and clean it out in no time. At Lange Plumbing & Fire Protection, we work hard to not only solve your plumbing problems, but educate our customers on best practices to keep their home’s plumbing system running smoothly for years to come.
