Pros
- Commercial drain cleaners are easy and safe to use.
- Because the drain cleaners work using a chemical reaction you
are unlikely to damage the drain pipe.
- No technical knowledge or machinery needed.
- The drain cleaner usually does not have to be mixed – simply
poured straight from the bottle into the drain.
- There isn’t usually any bad smell when using a drain
cleaner.
Cons
- Although you trust the manufacturer you really don’t know what
possible pollutants you are putting down your drain.
- Drain cleaners are designed to attack a wide variety of
substances so you are using a wide spectrum solution for what might
be a single item problem.
- Liquid drain cleaners don’t scour the pipes like cleaning rods
do and will leave a residue that will start the blocking process
again..
