While some small clogs can be knocked out with chemical drain cleaners, there are drawbacks to using these excessively. Something simple such as a hair, grease, or buildup clog may be removed with chemical drain cleaners, but these chemicals take a toll on your plumbing system and usually don’t remove the entire clog (meaning it will come back later). There’s always the possibility that your clog is an indication of a problem deeper within your drainage system, such as a broken or blocked sewer pipeline or tree root infiltration. If these problems aren’t ruled out, they could result in larger, more costly damage down the line. At Bill Metzger Plumbing, we will utilize our advanced camera technology to understand the exact cause of your clog so that you can be as proactive as possible in securing repairs.
