(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 16, 2011 ) Detroit, MI - Larry Mitchell has over 20 years experience in the plumbing industry, providing plumbing repair and installation for homes and businesses in the Metro Detroit area. Larry provides emergency plumbing service for homes, hospitals, restaurants, schools and anyone who needs plumbing repair. Consumers can count on Larry for dependability and quick response.
Larry offers eco-friendly solutions to a clogged drain or toilet. With the current trends moving toward “green” technology and “save our planet,” people are becoming more and more aware of dangers associated with certain cleaning products and liquid drain cleaners.
Liquid drain cleaners can be caustic and toxic. I have seen people with skin and eye injuries as a result of trying to use a liquid drain cleaner and a plunger. The caustic liquid splashes them in the face, causing burns to the skin, a rash or worse, damage to their eyes.
A much safer and Earth friendly solution for a clogged drain is to use two ingredients that you probably already have on hand; baking soda and vinegar. The reaction of these two products, when mixed, might just surprise you! Do not mix them, but first pour a cup of baking soda into the drain and then follow it with a cup of vinegar. Wait until it stops reacting and then pour boiling water down the drain followed by a plunger if necessary.
Another solution is to buy a toilet auger or plumberÂ’s snake, but be aware that this can be messy. The snake is basically a long spring, tightly wound into a coil. Using the attached handle, you unwind the coil into the clog to push it through. Though eco-friendly, the draw back is it can leave scratches on the toilet bowl. Also, in order to be used on most drains, something needs to be taken apart and put back together again.
If these methods of cleaning a clogged drain do not work, then the best idea is to call a Detroit plumber to come to the rescue. Where you might spend an entire day unclogging a drain, the plumber can complete the job within an hour of your appointment time so you can get on with your life.
