We’ve all heard of Black Friday—but have you heard of Brown Friday?
The day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers due to increased calls about clogs and backups from holiday gatherings. Here are some simple tips to help you avoid plumbing problems this season.
Kitchen Tips
- Don’t pour grease down the drain. Let fats and oils cool, then throw them in the trash to prevent pipe blockages.
- Scrape plates before rinsing. Put food scraps in the trash or compost—not the sink.
- Use a sink strainer. It helps keep food debris out of your pipes.
- Go easy on the garbage disposal. Only dispose of small amounts of soft scraps. Avoid potato peels, pasta, rice, and coffee grounds.
Bathroom Tips
- Flush only toilet paper. Remind guests that wipes and other hygiene products belong in the trash, even if labeled “flushable.”
- Stagger water use. Space out showers, laundry, and dishwashing when hosting to avoid overloading your system.
Be Prepared
- Know Your Cleanout Location: Familiarize yourself with the main sewer cleanout in case of an emergency.
- Contact a Professional: If you suspect a blockage or slow drainage, call a plumber before it worsens.
Taking these precautions can help you avoid costly repairs and ensure a stress-free holiday weekend. Don’t forget to take advantage of South Platte Renew’s Annual Grease Takeback Event.
