Thanksgiving week is a busy time of year for both you AND your drains.
In fact, the Friday after the holiday is now known as ‘Brown Friday’ in the trades. Why? Because of the amount of kitchen drains that become clogged due to the prepping, cooking, and after-meal clean up on Turkey Day. This year, protect your home’s plumbing by following our Thanksgiving Day drain guide below. If your drains are already running slow, don’t wait until Thanksgiving morning to deal with it. Have it cleared by the pros at Princeton Air ahead of time and prevent a holiday headache. Slow drainage is often the first warning sign of a growing clog. Give us a call or schedule service online now before the holiday feast. A quick preventive visit can save you from a major backup when your kitchen is working overtime.
TURKEY DAY GARBAGE DISPOSAL TIPS
When you are putting your garbage disposal to use on Thanksgiving Day, use the tips below to keep it running smoothly:
- Cold water should be running during the entire operation of the disposal & even for a few moments after.
- Only put small pieces of food into your garbage disposal. The smaller the size, the better the results will be.
- Grind for as long as needed, being sure not to stop the disposal when there is still food to process.
- Always remember our golden rule – when in doubt, just throw it out! It’s not worth the risk of putting it down the drain.
