Don’t Use Chemical Drain Cleaner

If your drain is clogged, using a chemical cleaner may appear to be a quick and efficient solution. These products are effective in the short term, but they can lead to more serious issues later on.

These substances will eat away at the pipe itself as well as the blockage that is clogging your pipes, which can lead to long-term corrosion. The risk is especially high in your septic tank, where foreign substances can upset the system's balance and cause it to fail.

Finally, keep in mind that chemical drain cleaners can be hazardous to your health if not properly stored. If you have such chemicals in your home, it is critical that you keep them securely locked away.
