Did you know that the busiest day of the year for plumbers in the U.S. is the day after Thanksgiving? Whether your plans include hosting out-of-town relatives for the week or putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for all of your friends, these tips will help prevent inconvenient plumbing problems from occurring during an already busy time of the year.
Stay stress- and mess-free this Holiday season with these pre-Thanksgiving pointers.
Pre-Thanksgiving Pointers & Tips
- Don’t put turkey bones or skin, or potato and onion peels down the disposal. (Oils, grease, and fats can stick to your pipes and cause clogs easily.)
- Throw leftovers in the trash or compost pile- everything shouldn’t go down the drain!
- Feed things gradually down the drain to prevent overloading the garbage disposal.
- Wipe off greasy pans before washing them. You’ll save yourself a clog or two.
- Don’t operate the dishwasher if you suspect a problem with the disposal. It discharges into the disposal.
If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year or you’re simply a guest, the last thing you need in a home is for the plumbing system to fail. Whether your garbage disposal stops working, a toilet overflows, or your water heater fails, our technicians are here for you–even on Thanksgiving day!
