The Downside of Store-Bought Drain and Sewer Solutions
While store-bought drain and sewer solutions might seem like a quick fix, they often do more harm than good in the long run. Many of these products rely on harsh chemicals that claim to break down clogs instantly but can actually corrode your pipes over time. This damage can weaken your plumbing system, leading to unexpected leaks or costly repairs down the road. Additionally, these chemical-based solutions are often ineffective against stubborn or deep clogs, leaving you with the same problem and money wasted on a temporary fix.
Another downside to these products is their environmental impact. The strong chemicals found in most store-bought drain cleaners are not only harmful to your plumbing but can also pose a risk to the environment when they’re washed down the drain. These toxic substances can contaminate waterways, affecting aquatic life and ecosystems. By choosing professional drain and sewer services from Oro Pro Plumbing Inc. instead, you’re protecting your home and making a more eco-friendly choice for effective and long-lasting results.

Drain and sewer line issues are often the result of everyday habits and unsuspecting culprits. Identifying these common causes can help you proactively maintain a healthy plumbing system and prevent costly repairs. Many items that seem harmless can actually accumulate over time, creating blockages and backups.
Be careful with:
Grease and cooking oil. When poured down the sink, grease, oil, and fat can solidify as they cool, sticking to the walls of your pipes and creating stubborn blockages.
Hair. Although hair strands may seem small, they can combine with soap residue and other debris to form clumps that clog shower and bathroom drains.
Food scraps. Even with a garbage disposal, food particles such as rice, pasta, or fibrous vegetables can collect in pipes and lead to slow draining.
Wet wipes and sanitary products. Despite being marketed as "flushable," many wipes and hygiene products do not break down easily and can cause significant blockages in your sewer line.
Tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can infiltrate underground sewer lines through small cracks, eventually causing severe damage.
Soap scum. Over time, soap residue can build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and leading to blockages, especially in areas with hard water.
By being mindful of what goes down your drains and scheduling regular maintenance, you can avoid these common issues and keep your plumbing in good condition for years to come.
