Understanding Why Your Drains Become Blocked

Residential and commercial drain clogs are extremely common. Unfortunately, when drains become slow or completely clogged, many people instinctively grab over-the-counter chemical drain cleaners. Plumbing professionals strongly advise against this.

While these acidic chemical cleaners are effective at dissolving some clogs, the harsh acids are extremely dangerous to older pipes (like cast iron or galvanized) and can cause them to weaken, erode, and eventually leak. These chemicals are also hazardous to handle.

Understanding the source of a blockage (for routine or stubborn clogs) helps know when its time for a professional to get a drain cleaning that is both highly effective and completely safe for your plumbing system.

Household drain clogs are extremely common. Knowing the source of the blockage is key to preventing future issues:

  • Bathroom Clogged Sinks/Tubs: The primary cause is hair combined with soap scum, which creates a sticky, difficult-to-clear barrier. This requires clogged bath tub drain or clogged sink repair.

  • Clogged Toilet: Usually caused by non-flushable items (like personal wipes and hygiene products) that fail to dissolve and require professional drain snaking or toilet removal.

  • Kitchen Clogged Sink: In the kitchen, the main culprits are grease, fats, and food particles that cool and solidify inside the draining pipes.

  • Main Sewer Line: Blockages here are often caused by tree roots seeking moisture, leading to a serious backup that requires a dedicated sewer cleanout.

If you have a drain that's running slow or completely backed up, call a drain cleaning services company right away. Ignoring it increases the risk of a dangerous and damaging overflow.


When drains become slow or clogged, it's common for people to reach for the over-the-counter chemical drain cleaner. Plumbing professionals strongly advise against this. While these chemical cleaners are effective at dissolving some clogs, the acids contained in them pose significant risks:

  • Pipe Corrosion: The harsh chemicals can erode older pipes (especially cast iron and galvanized steel), accelerating wear and leading to expensive leaks.

  • Temporary Fix: They often only burn a small hole through the clog, leaving the remaining gunk to cause a backup again very quickly.

  • Safety Hazard: These chemicals are dangerous to handle and can cause severe injury if splashed on skin or eyes.

  • Toxic Fumes: They release strong, toxic fumes into your home environment.

If you have a stubborn clog, call a professional plumber for drain cleaning that is both highly effective and safer for your pipes and your home.

Snappy Services utilizes professional-grade equipment that mechanically removes the blockage, leaving your pipes intact:

  • Drain Snaking: We use flexible, motorized cables (augers or rooters) to physically cut through clogs like hair and minor root growth. This is the fastest method for most clogged sink or clogged toilet issues.

  • Hydro-Jetting: For serious obstructions and main sewer cleanout, we use high-pressure water streams to thoroughly scour the inside walls of your draining pipes, removing years of scale, grease, and sludge buildup.

  • Video Inspection: For recurring blockages, we insert a camera to view the inside of the line to diagnose the exact cause, such as a fractured pipe or significant tree root intrusion, ensuring the repair is permanent.

Don't risk damaging your pipes with chemicals. Call a local plumbing professional, like Snappy Services, for safe, effective clogged drain repair!
