The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching, and here at Bisbee Plumbing & Heating, we want to ensure your festivities go smoothly. With family and friends gathering, your home's plumbing can be put to the test. Here are some friendly, expert tips to keep everything flowing perfectly this Thanksgiving.

Prevent Clogs in the Kitchen

Your kitchen will be buzzing with activity, and so will your sink. Be mindful of what goes down the drain—avoid pouring fats, oils, and cooking greases as they can solidify and cause blockages. Use a strainer to catch food scraps and keep your disposal running efficiently by flushing it with cold water.

Don't Overload the Garbage Disposal

Remember that your garbage disposal can easily get overwhelmed. Avoid grinding fibrous vegetables like celery or potato peels. If possible, compost or dispose of food waste in the trash to give your disposal a much-needed break.

Check for Leaks and Drips

Give your plumbing a once-over before guests arrive. Check for leaks or drips in faucets, pipes, and toilets to avoid any unexpected issues. Small leaks can easily turn into bigger problems when under pressure.

Prevent Toilet Troubles

With more guests, toilets tend to get more use. Remind family members to only flush toilet paper to avoid clogs. Keeping a plunger in the bathroom just in case is always a good idea.

We hope these tips help you enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team at Bisbee Plumbing & Heating. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to you and your family!
