Chemical drain cleaner is the first thing many people reach for. It can work on a small, soft clog close to the drain. On most of the clogs we are called out for, it has already been tried and has not helped, and it leaves us with caustic water to deal with.
Most are strong alkalis such as lye, or oxidizers such as bleach-based formulas. A few are acids. They generate heat and break down organic material like hair, soap and grease. They need direct contact with the clog to do anything.
They can open a partial hair or soap clog near the drain opening. They do little against a solid blockage, an object, roots, or a clog far down the line, because the chemical is diluted or never reaches it. In a main line clog they are useless.
The heat can soften plastic pipe and speed corrosion in older metal pipe, especially when the product sits in a blocked line. Splashes burn skin and eyes. Mixing two products can release dangerous gas. Standing water with cleaner in it is a hazard for anyone who plunges or opens the trap afterward.
A plunger, a hand snake and cleaning the trap clear most small clogs with no chemicals. See how to unclog a drain. Enzyme-based cleaners are gentler and can help with maintenance, though they will not open a blocked drain. For anything stubborn, call us for clogged drain repair.
