Chemical drain cleaners use intense chemicals that can dissolve some soft blockages. Some can even dissolve hair! The solution does get diluted as it travels through your drain lines though, so if the blockage is too far into your drain, the chemicals are often too diluted to work. And, if the blockage is due to root intrusion, a hard foreign object, or a collapse in your line, a chemical cleaner will have no impact. In short, chemical drain cleaners can be effective IF the blockage is simply a bit of grease or food build up, and IF that blockage is near the drain opening through which you are pouring the cleaner.

The trade-offs with these cleaners, however, are not great.

First, they can be dangerous to use, and utmost caution should be taken for your safety.

Second, they are so intense, they can cause damage or erosion to the interior of your drain pipes – especially with repeated use.

Third, in the event they don’t work, and you need to call a plumber, they can present a safety hazard to the plumber.

Fourth, the chemicals can leech into our water tables and local water ways, presenting a hazard to wildlife and eco-systems.

Regardless of marketing and advertising, flushable wipes should not be flushed. They do not break down as easily as toilet paper, and cause huge blockage issues. Even if they make it safely through your sewer lines, they need to go somewhere while they wait to biodegrade. They often end up in Chilliwack’s city sewer lines, in huge wads and clumps, and can create major blockage issues. They should absolutely never be used if you are on a septic system.

If you feel you require more than toilet paper alone can offer, we highly recommend getting a bidet installed, rather than flushing wipes down your toilet.

If left untreated, a clogged drain in your sewer system can lead to serious issues. Common signs of sewer clogs include slow drains, sewage odours, wet spots in your property, and more pests indoors. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional for clogged drain service immediately. If you notice water coming up your home’s lowest drains when you use other drains, the clog likely exists in the mainline. At Mr. Rooter, we provide effective solutions, such as cleaning or snaking the sewer drain, to restore proper function.
