Septic systems rely on bacteria that can live without oxygen to break solid waste into liquid and gas form. Drano products, which use harsh chemicals to break down clogged material in sinks, are safe in septic systems.
Identification
All Drano products are safe to use if you have a septic system, according to the Drano website. You should, however, only use the amount of product prescribed on the label.

Even if you use Drano prevention or any other Drano product with your septic system, Drano recommends having a professional inspect the system every two to three years or whenever your local health board requires an inspection.
