Drains are important components of any plumbing setup, since they
collect waste water from faucets, showers, and other similar fixtures, and
dispose the liquid. Although drains are made such that only water and other
liquids can pass through them, they can still clog due to things such as hair
and soap scum. Typically, homeowners have the option of using drain cleaner
liquid to flush out the blockages from their drains, but there exists other
alternative options that do not involve chemicals.
Homeowners might want to avoid using drain cleaners as much as possible
when unclogging their drains. The chemicals are highly toxic, which makes them
dangerous to use around children and those with delicate health problems.
Moreover, some drain cleaners are highly caustic, and can burn the user’s skin
as easily as it can burn hair stuck in the drainage.
There are other ways to clean a drain without resorting to chemicals.
Homeowners can use drain snakes to pull out debris and hair from their drains
to unclog the pipes. Alternatively, homeowners can just simply call for their
local plumbers to unclog their drains. This option is preferable for those
clogs that do not seem the budge, or are located deep within the piping that
are simply unreachable by commercial drain snakes.
