Q: Can a chemical cleaner damage the clogged drain?

• <div><p>Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you&rsquo;re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How do you get rid of roots in a main sewer line?

• <div><p>You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-sewer-line-replacement-or-repair-cost.htm">Sewer line replacement costs</a> about $60 to $250 per linear foot. </p></div>

Q: What is a biodegradable drain cleaner and how does it differ from a conventional one?

• <div><p>Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.</p></div>

Q: Could the sewage smell be coming from my floor drain?

• <div><p>Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.</p></div>

Q: How long does liquid drain cleaner take to work?

• <div><p>Most commercial liquid drain cleaners work in 15 to 30 minutes. Consult the label on the bottle for additional instructions or time suggestions to prevent damage to your drainpipes. Alternative solutions such as baking soda, salt, white vinegar, and/or boiling water can take longer since they are less harsh than liquid drain cleaners.</p></div>

I am 22 years old working full time and trying to get a business started on the side. Even though I am young I have lots of experience.

"My kitchen sink wouldn't drain. Called up Genesis Plumbing Repair and they were clear on pricing and time they could show up. Once they arrived, it took maybe 10 minutes to clear out a grease clog 65ft out from my sink. They made it look easy peasy! They're also a 24 hour on call service, if you have a plumbing emergency! It's very nice to have that service so close, here in Porter. They'll definitely be my go-to in the future!"

"The work was done with care and completed in a VERY TIMELY MANNER. Shortly after they finished the storm drain installation, we had a heavy downpour. That allowed me to see DrainExperts work in action. I was amazed! The rain stayed off the property, away from the home foundation, and straight to the street toward the city drain. Big company’s charged SIGNIFICANTLY more but there’s no need to pay that amount when DrainExperts can do an excellent job for a fair price. Glad I gave DrainXperts the job."
