Monday, July 4th, 2022

Drain cleaning chemicals are everywhere these days. They’re seemingly always changing up the formulas, adding “new and improved” to the bottle labels with shiny colors in hopes that you’ll purchase them. At this point, even pharmacies have a whole aisle devoted to them, which is why we find the need to write this kind of blog post every once in a while.

Your drainage and sewer pipes are invading that territory and taking up room that these trees would like for themselves. All the sudden you’ve got a battle between pipes and tree roots.
