Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) November 29, 2012
Mr. Rooter, Bob Beall, the most referred plumber in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, area has a very eco-friendly philosophy. Most plumbers do a reputable job, but according to Beall; caring about the environment has become an imperative consideration when dealing with the number one plumbing emergency call: drain cleaning. Mr. Rooter, the plumber who never sleeps, offers daily expert plumbing advice to consumers. Why? Because Beall believes that not every plumbing need, needs a plumber!
Bealls children, now famous for their Call Our Dad campaign, have been taught since they were very young about the active ingredient in Drano and other conventional drain cleaners. According to Beall, sodium hydroxide, otherwise known as caustic soda or lye, is a man-made chemical used for its corrosive properties. Recently in a conversation with a consumer from the Boardman Ohio area, Mr. Rooter was asked why the product is still on the market. Beall says, to the Federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the substance is not considered a pollutant per se, as it separates into relatively harmless component elements once released into water or moist soil. Beall also stands by this expert recommendation: It just isnt good for your drains read on and lengthen the life of your homes drain system.
According to Beall, sodium hydroxide is an irritant that can burn skin and aggravate nose, throat and respiratory airways, so contact with it is best avoided. If ingested outright it will likely induce vomiting, as well as cause chest or abdominal pain and make swallowing difficultso keep it well out of the reach of children.
Mr. Rooter says, for those who would rather avoid such chemicals entirely, safer alternatives do exist. A plunger or mechanical drain snakealong with a little elbow greasecan often free up clogs as well or better than sodium hydroxide compounds. One home remedy with a proven track record is to pour a handful of baking soda mixed with a half cup of vinegar down the drain, and follow it quickly with boiling water. Although these are some basic tips for unclogging a drain, Beall says the recommended product is BioChoiceES
