Clogged drains are not what most people think about when they make Thanksgiving plans, but thousands of Americans will be adding a plumber to their guest lists sometime during the long weekend.
Did you know Black Friday is the busiest day of the year for plumbers?
LGE Prime Plumbing has compiled a survival guide for all of those who want to save a little extra money in the holidays for shopping instead of a plumbing expense.
Do Not
- Dump grease down the drain. (grease solidifies in your drain much like it does in a pan left over night, don’t do it!)
- Force large amounts of food down disposal all at once.
- Put celery down disposal, it is very stringy and hard on the blades.
- Put pasta, potatoes, rice, or coffee – dump them in your trash. Better safe than sorry. They can be tough on your blades.
- Put bones down disposal.
Do
- Rinse greasy plates in hot water
- Run water about 60 seconds to flush out grease left in disposal.
- keep water flowing while the disposal is running.
Follow these tips to prevent having a plumbing issue around the holidays.
