Clear Drain Cleaning take the brunt of our daily routine, enduring abrasions and exposure to grime until they become clogged. While store bought drain cleaners can quickly remove a blockage, they often fail to address the root cause and can damage delicate pipes. In contrast, professional drain cleaning services are an investment in the longevity and functionality of your plumbing system.

Cost-Effective Drain Cleaning Solutions

The most cost-effective way to prevent clogs is to avoid the substances that are known to trigger them. This means not flushing oils, fats, or coffee grounds down the toilet; disposing of unflushable items like sanitary towels, napkins, and tights in the trash; and avoiding grinding fibrous food waste into your older drains.

In addition to avoiding these products, there are several low-cost ways to keep your drains clean and functioning. For example, mixing baking soda and vinegar makes a natural, non-toxic drain cleaner that breaks down buildup, neutralizes odors, and leaves your sink with a fresh scent. A natural abrasive, salt can also help break down stubborn clogs. Simply mix a cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of salt, then pour it down the drain. Allow it to sit for an hour, then flush with hot water.

Caustic chemical drain cleaners, such as Drano and Liquid-Plumr, use lye (sodium hydroxide) or caustic potash to eat away at the organic materials that make up a clog, including hair, soap scum, and food particles. However, repeated use can corrode older, more fragile pipes made of cast iron, clay, or galvanized steel, leading to leaks and replacement costs.
