Is Drano Safe for Your Septic System?

proadAccountId-392273 • February 25, 2020
Clearing out clogged drains is just a part of being a homeowner. No matter how diligent you may be about keeping foreign matter out of pipes, clogs happen. When they do, knowing how to clear them effectively is a skill all homeowners should have in their tool belts. Many homeowners turn to chemical drain cleaners, like Drano, to clear away those pesky clogs - but is it really safe to use cleaners like Drano in your septic system?

Because of the integral role bacteria plays in your septic system’s proper functioning, it is very important to be careful about what type of chemicals you put into your system. Chemical drain cleaners can kill the good enzymes and bacteria in your tank that help to break waste down and can be damaging to your tank itself. Anything that may kill off the system’s bacteria should be strictly limited, if not avoided altogether.

There are some all-natural and septic-safe methods you can use to unclog your drains including:
  • Pouring boiling water down the affected drain to clear away small clogs caused by soap or grease
  • A mixture of ½ cup baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar followed by 2 cups of boiling water
If you’ve tried these methods and your drain is still not draining properly, it may be time to call in the professionals.
