Clogged Drain Repair — frequently asked
Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?+
Repeated use of harsh chemical cleaners can damage pipes and fixtures. For recurring clogs it is usually better to have the drain cleared and inspected.
Why does one fixture back up when I use another?+
Fixtures that share a drain line can back up into each other when the shared line is blocked downstream. That often points to a deeper clog in the line.
