Blocked Drain? Why You Shouldn’t Reach for the Chemicals
Shop-bought drain cleaners often make things worse. Here’s the safer, smarter route.
It’s tempting to pour a bottle of caustic cleaner down a blocked drain and hope for the best. But harsh chemicals can damage older pipework, harm the environment, and rarely shift the real cause of a blockage.
A professional drainage specialist uses CCTV cameras and high-pressure jetting to find and clear the actual problem — whether it’s tree roots, a collapsed section, or years of build-up — without risking your pipes or your safety.
