10. You unclog the drain with chemicals
As surprising as it may sound, using chemicals to unclog the drain is not the best solution for your wallet. While it’s pretty convenient to use a chemical drain cleaner when the drain is clogged, it’s actually a matter of time when you’ll have to replace the pipes.
No matter how good a drain cleaning product may be, the vast majority of plumbers say that it’s best to call a pro. If there’s an emergency, you should boil some water and pour it down the drain to loosen small clogs. Plumbers suggest it would be even better to keep a hair grabber drain tool in a bathroom drawer.
