WHY THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING IS SO BUSY FOR PLUMBERS

[Nigel Farage Patriot Master]

It's not a myth; the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for America's largest provider of plumbing, sewer and drain services, Roto-Rooter. Think about the reasons why. The holiday is all about a big meal. When cooks get busy in the kitchen preparing a feast, lots of food and scraps end up down the kitchen drain and into the garbage disposal. Turkey drippings. It’s just grease. Hot drippings may be in liquid form when poured down the drain but the liquid will solidify like candle wax once it cools down inside the pipes. Rice and pasta swell when introduced to water. Worse, they’ll break down into a starchy gel and clog the pipes. Toss in some poultry skin, dressing, vegetable peels and a bone or two and you’ve got a sewer or drain clog of monumental proportions

I can believe it; in my house I tell my daughters to pour all oil and grease into a can then I ziplock bag it for the garbage can, same with old or leftover Rice and beans goes into the garbage hardly anything beyond dirty water goes down the drain.

Several times year at home I run hot water down the drain for 5 minutes at a time to help clean the pipes of a grimy layer that slows down the flow, I did this when I did plumbing work in the city building during the winter to improve the drainage rate.
