Every plumbing system will clog from time to time. While drain cleaning can be as simple as using a plunger, it’s not that easy when the blockage lies deeper within the pipes. In these cases, leaving the task to a professional plumber is recommended for several reasons. Before you purchase a bottle of drain cleaner, consider why you should entrust the job to an expert.

Why You Should Hire a Professional Plumber for Drain Cleaning

1. Safety

Drain cleaning chemicals are harsh and can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. Many of these chemicals also damage the pipes in your home. Not only are these chemicals dangerous, but they also are not eco-friendly and cause harm to the environment. A plumber has the tools, including motor-powered snakes, to safely unclog your drains without using harsh chemicals or damaging pipes.

2. Effectiveness

Drain CleaningAlthough drain cleaners temporarily help the problem, they are not sufficient long-term. In fact, the chemicals only remove part of the blockage, which means the issue will resurface. A plumber, on the other hand, can use snaking equipment to pull the debris buildup from the drain to break up the clog and remove the blockage. The solutions minimize the chance of the issue returning.

3. Savings

When you handle drain cleaning on your own, you may waste money on drain cleaner that is ineffective. And if you damage your plumbing with these chemicals, you’ll be faced with expensive repair bills. By calling a professional, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the problem will get fixed the first time and you won’t waste your money.
