Need Help with a Plumbing Emergency?
Whether is July 4th, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas – the holiday brings an in ordinate amount of traffic to your household plumbing. We at Earl’s Plumbing think of it as though your house is having heart attack. “The Party Effect” that is the combination of cooking elaborate holiday feasts in the kitchen coupled with the increased traffic in your home and bathrooms is recipe for a plumbing disaster and an “all hands on deck” situation for plumbers around the country.
Do not be fooled into thinking that the simplest way to get rid of fat from turkeys, bacon and roasts is down the kitchen drain. It will harden and congeal there and then trap all your other food scraps. Congealed grease can harden into a consistency like candle wax or clay. Stringy pumpkin pulp takes on an epoxy-like hardness when dry. Be aware!
Cooks, sometimes inexperienced, overload garbage disposals with potato peelings, pumpkin pulp and other food waste. They fail to use enough water to flush them down the pipes, and then put cooking grease and oil in the mix and disaster is almost certain to ensue.
When houses are packed with guests, there are more showers and toilet flushes than normal. People toss disposable wipes, cotton balls or hair down the toilet and cause even more potential issues.
Most importantly, take care of any plumbing problems BEFORE THE HOLIDAY and before they become a costly emergency. Earl’s Plumbing sewage and drain cleaning services are a great idea for a little preventative medicine.
