Why Store-Bought Drain Cleaners Make It Worse
Chemical drain cleaners promise a fast fix. What they actually do is burn a narrow channel through the top of the clog, convince you the drain is flowing, and leave the rest of the blockage sitting in your pipe. Two weeks later the clog grows back thicker, the pipe is now corroded from the chemical, and the next plumber has to work around a pipe weakened by repeated chemical exposure. For commercial-grade clogs, grease buildup, and stubborn root intrusions, we use hydro jetting — a high-pressure water blast that clears the entire pipe wall, not just the obstruction. Hydro jetting is the bulletproof option when standard drain cleaning is not enough.
What Chemical Cleaners Actually Do
• Corrode pipes from the inside. Sulfuric and hydroxide-based cleaners eat at PVC joints and thin older galvanized steel.
• Clear only partial blockages. The chemical finds the path of least resistance, burns a straw-sized channel, and declares victory.
• Push the problem deeper. Runoff carries softened grease and hair further down the line, past the P-trap, into the main.
• Trap heat against your pipes. The exothermic reaction generates 150-200°F that can warp PVC and soften old solder joints.
• Create a hazard for the next plumber. If chemical did not fully clear, the drain still contains caustic fluid.
What Professional Tools Actually Do
• Camera inspection first. We see the exact location, size, and type of blockage before any tool goes in.
• Motorized snake for hair, grease, soap. Mechanical cutting head chews organic buildup without touching the pipe wall.
• Hydro jet for grease and scale. 3,000 PSI water scours pipe walls back to bare interior. Cleaner than new.
• Root cutters for invasive roots. Rotary heads sized to pipe diameter cut tree roots without cracking the host pipe.
• Second camera pass to verify. We prove the drain is clear, not just flowing.

What Homeowners Say
"We just moved into our home and started having issues with our kitchen sink backing up. Nick Chernioglo assessed it thoroughly and was very informative about the issue and multiple options to fix it. We ended up not breaking up the entire garage floor."
