A Surprising Cause of Pipe Corrosion
Pipes made of cast iron, steel, PVC, and other durable materials are meant to be extremely tough and able to withstand many years of pressure even deep underground. However, there are several kinds of substances that can cause a pipe to corrode over time, even those of the highest quality. One common culprit is that of pouring chemical cleaners and solvents into the line. Surprisingly, this is one of the greatest causes of corrosion in a pipe.
When a drain or sewer starts to get clogged, homeowners rightly fear the end result of having an unexpected flood of backup. However, over-the-counter cleaners, whether in the forms of powders or liquids, are not the right way to go. When these harsh chemicals get washed down, they will eat away a pipe’s interior until the lining is filled with holes. Although there are also natural minerals and acids in the soil that deteriorate a pipe’s inside, they do not do this as quickly as artificial solutions.

Understanding Gurgling Pipes & How to Fix Them
What Causes Gurgling Pipes?
Hearing a gurgling noise after using a faucet or flushing a toilet is a clear sign that something is wrong with a plumbing system. Typically, this type of issue is due to a blockage within the drain lines. The other common cause is a blocked vent pipe. In either case, water or air is prevented from flowing freely through the pipes, resulting in trapped bubbles, which produce a gurgling sound. If the gurgling noise is isolated to one particular fixture, such as a bathroom sink, the issue is likely with the drain or P-Trap. When gurgling occurs in multiple fixtures, the issue probably stems from the main sewer line. A professional plumber can inspect the lines to locate the source and determine the best solution.
