A question we get asked
after we get the call to open or clean a line. It all depends on what
is clogged up and where it is clogged up. Too many people fall for the
heavy marketing campaign of using a "Liquid Drain BOMB ". Other then
WATER, there is not one liquid that can CLEAN A DRAIN LINE. I do not
care what the company says on their "Liquid Drain Bomb". All they care
about is them making a sale and not truth in advertising. If they
guarantee their "Liquid Drain Bomb" to work, how come they do not then
pay us to open and clean the line after their product FAILS?.
In out almost 30 years of Drain, Sewer, Septic and Cesspool cleaning,
we have seen Toilets break apart from the "Liquid Drain Bomb", PVC Pipes
melt and pipes start to leak.. We have even had our skin be burned so bad that we required
medical attention. The homeowner did not think it would have been a
problem if they "Forgot" to tell us that there was Drain Cleaner in the
line they put in the line a hour before they called us. Yes we asked and
they lied. When the Liquid Drain Cleaner came bubbling up and out and
then exploded out, It hit my legs and burned thru my Bib Cover all's and
Pants. We where not happy. The homeowner had no education or experience
on what the "Liquid Drain Bombs " Can do. They mixed a BOMB in the
drain before I got there.
Another time,We have closed a door in a
upstairs bathroom and hear the toilet explode. The homeowner poured a
Lie-Acid mix along with other products that was sold to them by a big
box store,. They had a TOY stuck in the toilet and felt they could
"Melt" the plastic toy away and the toilet would work. We where lucky
there because the Drain cleaning chemicals they poured in there, made
the Toilet a IED or Grenade. It tore up the bathroom and tub and tile.
We had to shut the water to the whole house to stop the flooding damage
to the main floor of the house.
Why am I telling you all this?
If YOU have a drain clog in a kitchen , Bathroom sink, Toilet or Tub.
Use a Plunger and see if the drain does not clear itself. If that does
not work, STOP using all water to the drain for 48 hours or more. If
that does not work, It's time to call us. There is more to this
clog that we need to take a look at.
