Attempting to perform common do-it-yourself drain cleaning techniques can cause more harm than good and end up costing you more in the long run. Below is some of the common attempts that should be avoided when you attempt to clean drains in your home or office:
1. Chemical Drain Domestics- These chemicals simply don’t work. They are a safety hazard and will often cause disarray then solve your blocked drains or flush out your pipes. Chemical drain cleaners aren’t suitable for clearing debris or large blockades.
2. Clothing Hangers- You’re not trying to unlock a car here! Simply do not use a clothing hanger in attempt to unblock a drain. This can cause more issues if you get the hanger stuck in the pipe and cause more damage than what you started with.
3. The Outside Hose- People tend to believe that added water pressure will unclog drains and flush out pipes.
