When your plumbing system goes awry, it can be a panic-inducing experience — particularly if you've never dealt with such a problem before. A drain cleaner is a quick over-the-counter solution that may help dissolve clogs and restore proper functionality of your plumbing.

And indeed, drain cleaners are reliable fixes that often solve the problem perfectly well. These cleaners are powered by potent oxidizing or caustic chemicals that plow through and loosen the clog. The problem occurs when these chemicals come into contact with plastic or PVC plumbing. A reaction occurs that generates heat, which in turn weakens the plastic. Weak, soft plastic can easily lead to a damaged system that requires serious plumbing repairs. Another problem that arises is when these chemical drain cleaners are used repeatedly. If the clog does not dissolve, the pipes may end up even more damaged than they would be otherwise.

It's especially important to tackle problems with drains before they go from relatively minor to full-blown backups. If that does happen, however, the plumbers Joe Klosterman Plumbing are ready to address any emergency situation, using top-quality equipment and materials and staffed with skilled employees who have been with the company for years.
