FAQs About Sewage Backup: Kansas City

  • We highly discourage customers from using chemical cleaners. Chemical drain cleaners pose serious risks to your health, pipes, and the environment, making them a poor choice for sewer backup in Kansas City, MO homes. Learn more about the dangers they pose below.

    Health Hazards

    These products contain potent acids, such as sulfuric acid or lye, which can cause severe skin burns, eye irritation, or respiratory issues from fumes. In households with kids or pets, accidental exposure heightens dangers, with thousands of injuries reported yearly.

    Pipe Damage

    The chemicals erode pipes—thinning metal, cracking PVC, or weakening joints—leading to leaks and costly repairs over time. Older homes common in Kansas City may have galvanized pipes, which are especially vulnerable to corrosion.

    Temporary Fix

    They clear surface clogs but ignore root causes such as grease buildup or tree roots, leading to recurring issues. Beneficial drain bacteria that naturally break down waste are also killed.

    Environmental Impact

    Harsh chemicals pollute wastewater, harm septic systems, and contaminate local waterways when flushed. In Kansas City, this strains municipal sewers already handling urban runoff.
