Short term solution
Although it might appear to be a smart decision to clean drains by yourself to demonstrate your DIY skills and earn some satisfaction, it is never the best option because the move can do more harm than good.
Although the cleaning will be effective and quick, it can damage the pipelines due to the harmful chemicals in the cleaning products. At best, it is only a short term solution, and for long-lasting cleaning effects, you must call a plumber who can do complete justice to the job and give you the satisfaction of spending your money wisely.
Why drain cleaning products are bad
Firstly, you will not be able to determine the extent of blockage and what caused it unless you inspect the pipeline thoroughly instead of only depending on the signs and symptoms.
Therefore, using any chemical to clear the blockage might work only partially, and the problem will recur soon. Since you are unable to understand the root cause of the problem, it can lead to a more severe blockage that can damage pipelines and be very expensive to repair besides causing a lot of inconveniences.
The drain cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that can damage the plumbing system, especially by corroding the pipes that can start leaking and only compound the problem later. As a result, it can collapse the plumbing system completely.
The chemicals in the cleaning products can be toxic and pose health hazards which you must avoid at all cost. Therefore, despite your skills in finding quick-fix solutions to drain blockage, it is always advisable to seek help from a plumber.
