Store-bought drain cleaners are harsh on your pipes, dangerous to handle, and only mask the problem. Hawthorne Plumbing, Heating & Cooling offers BioSmart drain treatment across Reno and Las Vegas, a natural, enzyme-based solution that dissolves grease, hair, soap scum, and organic buildup safely and effectively, without corrosive chemicals that damage your plumbing or harm your family and the environment.

Drain cleaning is one of the most common plumbing services we handle here at Hawthorne Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. The drains and pipes in your home can become clogged fairly easily, especially when excess grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, and other organic material make their way down your drains, including common trouble spots like the shower and toilet.
Over time, that residue can build in the line and lead to slow drains, reduced flow, recurring clogs, and pipe damage that’s not just irritating but costly and time-consuming to fix. BioSmart drain treatment offers a safer way to deal with that buildup before it turns into a bigger problem, and early treatment helps keep drains clean.
BioSmart is a natural, bio-enzymatic liquid treatment designed for plumbing and septic systems. Instead of the harsh chemicals in store-bought drain cleaners, it uses live bacteria and enzymes to break down organic waste, hair, grease, and soap residue inside pipes.
It’s eco-friendly and non-toxic, safe for residential and commercial plumbing systems, and sold exclusively through plumbing professionals as one of the drain treatment products available through professional channels, with different options depending on the provider rather than sitting on a store shelf.
BioSmart introduces friendly bacteria and natural probiotics into your drain line, where they work by breaking down organic buildup the same way nature breaks down organic waste anywhere else. As the bacteria consume the waste, it’s converted into a harmless residue rather than being dissolved by an acidic or caustic chemical reaction.
Because there’s no corrosive action involved, BioSmart doesn’t erode the inside of your pipes the way repeated use of a store-bought drain cleaner can, and it poses far less risk to your plumbing, your family, and the environment.
Many store-bought drain cleaners rely on harsh chemicals that can be damaging to your pipes and harmful to your health. These products often contain strong acids or alkalis that dissolve clogs through corrosive reactions, but this same corrosive action can erode your plumbing over time, leading to costly repairs.
Additionally, harsh chemicals can pose safety risks during handling, including skin burns, eye irritation, and respiratory problems from fumes. They also negatively impact the environment, as these toxic substances can enter water systems and harm aquatic life.
In contrast, BioSmart drain treatment uses natural enzymes and friendly bacteria to break down organic waste gently and effectively. This bio-enzymatic process avoids corrosive damage, making it safe for your pipes, your family, and the environment. Using BioSmart helps prevent clogs without the risks associated with harsh chemical cleaners.
BioSmart is most effective as ongoing maintenance used month to month rather than a one-time fix for an already severe clog. It works well for:
Slow bathroom drains affected by hair, soap scum, and soap residue buildup, helping keep shower drains clear
Kitchen drains dealing with grease and food waste, not toilet lines with a severe backup
Grease traps in commercial kitchens, where BioSmart supports the biological processes that keep them functioning
Septic systems, where BioSmart’s friendly bacteria help support overall septic health rather than disrupting it the way harsh chemicals can
Food waste is a common contributor to clogged drains, especially in kitchen sinks and commercial settings. Leftover food particles, oils, and grease can accumulate inside pipes, leading to slow drainage and unpleasant odors. BioSmart drain treatment effectively targets these organic materials by using natural enzymes and bacteria to break down food waste into harmless components. This process not only clears existing buildup but also helps prevent future clogs by maintaining a healthy bacterial balance within your plumbing system. Regular use of BioSmart ensures your kitchen sink and drains stay clear, reducing the need for costly repairs and keeping your plumbing running smoothly.
Store-bought drain cleaners rely on harsh, acidic chemicals to force a clog open, and that same corrosive action that clears the clog can also damage your pipes over time, especially with repeated use.
They also carry real safety risks: acidic droplets can harm skin and eyes, and the fumes can cause breathing problems.
BioSmart avoids all of that. Because it works through natural enzymes and bacteria rather than chemical reactions, it’s safe to handle, safe for your pipes, and safe for the septic system many Nevada homes rely on.
BioSmart is best suited for maintenance and prevention, not for clearing an active, severe blockage.
If at any point a drain is already fully clogged or backing up, active clearing service comes before maintenance treatment; hydro jetting may be needed first to clear it using high-pressure water, and a camera inspection can help pinpoint the exact cause if clogs keep coming back.
Once the line is clear, regular use of BioSmart can help maintain fast, reliable flow over time and lower your long-term maintenance costs.

Yes. BioSmart is better for your drains because there’s no corrosive action that might erode the interior of your pipes, and it’s safer for you since there’s no risk of acidic chemical droplets harming your skin or eyes, or fumes causing breathing problems.
BioSmart reduces clogs in a safer way than the hazardous drain cleaners available at the store. Rather than acidic chemicals, BioSmart uses enzymes and bacteria to break down the organic matter that clogs drains. Through this process, organic waste is consumed by bacteria and converted into a harmless residue, similar to how nature breaks down organic material, so it poses significantly less harm to the environment than chemical drain cleaners.
Yes. BioSmart introduces friendly bacteria that support your septic system’s natural processes rather than disrupting them, which is one of the reasons it’s a better long-term option than harsh chemical cleaners for homes on a septic system.
BioSmart works best as part of regular, ongoing maintenance rather than a one-time treatment. Our team can recommend a schedule based on your household’s drain usage and any recurring issues you’ve had in the past, such as once a month for homes with recurring drain problems.
