Another very common plumbing issue is a clogged drain. Many people choose to attempt to fix this issue themselves. There are two very common methods that homeowners use to fix a clogged drain themselves. One is a plunger, the other is a chemical clog remover. Although both of these may seem like a good idea, they could cause more damage to the drain.

When a home’s sink stops letting water through, the first thought may be to get a plunger to push the clog down the drain. In some cases, this may work perfectly fine. However, it could potentially push a smaller clog further into the main sewer line that stops the water from draining from the entire house.

Chemical drain cleaners are supposed to break up the clog and allow it to flow easily down the drain. Unfortunately, some of these chemicals are quite dangerous. They could cause injuries if not properly used. Even if used correctly, the chemicals could damage the pipes and cause major messes in the home.
