Best Drain Cleaner

[vegaschk]

What is the best drain cleaner you have used to unclog drains?

I personally have never seen a chemical drain cleaner work. My choice is plunger, snake and plumber, in that order.

If I ever "had" to use a drain cleaner, it would be an enzyme type, such as Drain-care by Zep. Enzyme cleaners cling to and "eat" organic clogs. Caustic cleaners eat a small hole and proceed down the piping, leaving a starting spot for the next clog. I charged extra for doing work on drain systems that had caustic cleaners used in it. This was due to extra cleaning of my tools and the chance of getting chemical burns while working on them.

Drain Cleaners are harsh chemicals that destroy your plumbing system. A plumbing snake is the only way to go

best thing todo is power rod or jet rod then enzyme type drain maintenance. i dont know if there is any diff between them, we sell bio-clean to our customers.

This is so true. When it comes to a pipe buildup use a snake or call a plumber.
