The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for most plumbers! According to Roto-Rooter spokesman Paul Abrams, the calls spike by about 50% on BlackFriday. So what’s all the clogging about? Grease, potato peelings, rice, celery and poultry skin in the disposal – and LOTS of clogged toilets.
Paul says to avoid putting fats and cooking oils down the drain. They might go down easy – but they’ll turn solid and create clogs. He also says too much stringy and starchy waste in the disposal can really mess things up – use the garbage can instead. If you’ve got guests staying over – try to wait 10 minutes between showers so slow drains have time to do their job.
