Chemical drain cleaners might seem to get the job done. In reality, it\u2019s more likely to make things worse. This is because chemical drain cleaners are so caustic. The chemicals that are used in the drain cleaners are rough on your pipes. While they may eat away at a clog, they\u2019re also likely to corrode your pipe after.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace Your Old Pipes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that repiping isn\u2019t typically something that you\u2019re looking forward to doing, but it\u2019s necessary.
