Having any plumbing problem at all is usually unpleasant, mainly because it happens at the least unexpected time. But it becomes even more frustrating when you accidentally cause the problem with your own two hands. 

We all know that you’re not supposed to pour grease down the drain — but did you know that there are lots of cleaning products that are bad for your drain as well? If you want to avoid blocking your drain with the wrong cleaning solutions, read on! And if you’ve already found yourself in this situation, not to fear: at Mid-Suffolk Cesspool, our experts offer the best blocked drain services in the area!

The first thing you need to understand is that not all drain cleaners are good for your drain in the long run. While they can clear up blockages, they may be produced with unsafe chemicals that end up softening your pipes and causing damage that’s costly to fix.

So, to keep yourself out of this mess, we recommend using these drain cleaning products instead:

           Whink Hair Clog Blaster

When you take baths and showers, some of your hair detaches and goes down the drain. Over time, this hair mixes with soaps and other products to form a compound that won't easily go down. An excellent product to help dissolve this hair in no time is the Whink Hair Clog Blaster.

 Whink is a product from a reputable company, RPM International, known for producing amazing items. The constituents of Whink Clog Blaster include sodium-related compounds that help clean

your drain properly.

            TubShroom Strainer and Hair Catcher

Usually, it's always better to prevent a blocked and damaged drain than to fix the damage afterward. A good product you can use to prevent hair from clogging your drain is the TubShroom Hair Catcher. This product is made out of rubber, and when you put it down your drain, it catches even the tiniest of hair. And this way, you don’t have to worry about chemicals damaging your pipe’s structural integrity!

            Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver

In blogs, on the news, and many other information websites, we hear pieces of advice reminding us never to pour oils in our drain.

However, absent-minded accidents often happen. If your drain gets clogged with oil, trying the Green Gobbler Drain Clog will work just fine. This product contains biodegradable constituents, and it helps dissolve oils and grease relatively easily. This product can work for hair clogs, but its best use is for grease.
