Drano vs. Liquid-Plumr
Thompson Family Plumbing is your go-to choice for residential plumbing repair and installation throughout Lake Havasu City, AZ and Hesperia, CA.
Drano vs. Liquid-Plumr: Wondering What’s Right For You?
Doesn’t it seem like each time you visit the market there are new cleaning products on the shelf? When it comes to clogged drains, Drano and Liquid-Plumr are the two most recognized names. With both promising to “destroy” clogs, which one can you trust?
What to know about Drano & Liquid-Plumr:
- Drano – Manufactured by S.C. Johnson and Co., Drano has been around a while. Drano offers both liquid and gel products that will supposedly eat away grease and break down clogs in your pipes.
- Liquid-Plumr – Manufactured by the Clorox Co., Liquid-Plumr has the oldest drain cleaning product on the market with Liquid-Plumr Regular Strength. They also have gel and liquid clog removers.
So which option is best for you? That’s a trick question because the answer is neither!
If you have a clogged drain, you should always call a professional plumber. Using a store-bought drain cleaner could wreak havoc on your entire plumbing system, causing a lot of damage and costly repairs. The harsh chemicals found in Drano and Liquid Plumbr can eat away and erode both metal and plastic piping. It can even cause damage to the finish on fixtures. If the liquid drain cleaner accidentally gets combined with any other household chemicals, the concoction can explode causing broken fixtures, cabinetry, walls, etc.
What to Do in Case of Clogged Drains
Most plumbers will come to your home, inspect the drain, and give you a free estimate. Using the professional services of a licensed plumber in Hesperia with the proper tools will always help you avoid worse plumbing problems that can be caused by trying to unclog a drain yourself. Using harsh chemicals to do the job is very risky when a plumber’s pipe snake will safely clear a clogged pipe.
The plumbers at Thompson Family Plumbing and Drain have the skills and tools necessary to get your drains working in no time. We work with precision to not only locate the clog but to effectively remove it. Trust us with all your plumbing needs.

“Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”
What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

“Took care of it in no time”
Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

“Gave me great peace of mind”
Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!

“Integrity and honesty”
I cannot say enough good things about this amazing company. We found them through reading other people’s reviews on Yelp. They have helped us with a plumbing issue and installing a new hot water heater. They are prompt, reasonable, and incredibly helpful. John’s integrity and honesty along with the rest of the crew would make it a pleasure to recommend to anyone and everyone.
