Chemical drain cleaners are often the first product homeowners reach for when facing a clog. They may do the job, but over time their harsh ingredients can damage your plumbing and even deteriorate your pipes if used often enough.

Bumble Bee Home Services recommends a more natural alternative: enzymes. Not only are enzyme cleaners safer to handle and better for the environment, but they are also effective at clearing drain clogs and keeping them clear. That’s why we offer enzyme drain cleaning services throughout the Glendale area.

Enzyme Cleaners vs. Chemical

Without any chemical content, enzyme drain cleaners rely on bacteria cultures and concentrated enzymes to feed on organic materials within the pipes. This ranges from mildew and mold to food particles to hair and skin cells. Once the organisms digest this waste, they reproduce quickly and spread good bacteria throughout your drainage system that continuously breaks down and eats organic matter.

Enzyme drain cleaners can remove many kinds of obstructions, although they are not as quick at combating a clog as a liquid chemical cleaner is. But their real claim to fame is that they continue to work overtime. Beyond the initial good results, the enzymes will keep actively cleaning your drain for weeks and even months — which means you avoid clogs altogether.

The Benefits of Enzymes

Here are just a few of Bumble Bee Home Services’s favorite benefits of using enzyme drain cleaners:

• They’re cheaper and easier to utilize than chemical cleaners.
• They are a safer option for your plumbing system and fixtures given the extremely low risk of corrosion.
• Originally used only for septic tanks, natural enzymes are now available for all types of plumbing needs.
• An excellent choice for regularly maintaining healthy pipes.

Keep in mind that while enzymes are a chemical-free product, they still need to be used with proper care. Used incorrectly, they can cause irritation, allergic reactions, or other serious side effects. We recommend that you consult with any of our plumbing experts before handling enzyme cleaners.
