With a blocked sink or toilet, it's tempting to pop to the shop, pick the most powerful drain cleaner you can find and pour it down the plughole.
This is risky and can be dangerous. Firstly, powerful drain cleaners are made with sulphuric acid and can destroy the drain itself. We often find waste pipes warped and holed because an acid-based drain cleaner was used.
Secondly, the fumes are extremely powerful and harmful. Sulphuric acid reacts with other chemicals such as bleach and bathroom cleaner, and mixing them can cause a reaction that can kill. If you have a blocked sink, call a plumber who can find the problem and fix it safely. Don't take unnecessary risks – contact us today to fix the problem safely and quickly.
