DIY Dangers
Chemical drain cleaners are advertized as user-friendly solutions for clogged drains, but their ingredients are far from benign. The primary ingredients of most drain cleaners are sulfuric acid and lye, substances that are not only deadly if swallowed but that can cause skin burns on contact and respiratory damage if inhaled.
Most drain cleaner products work by generating heat within your pipes and drains to clear clogs, which can soften PVC pipes and corrode metal piping.
Drain power augers presents their own dangers as well. Unless inserted with the proper degree of force, drain augers can permanently damage pipes, seals, and fixtures.
