As the vibrant leaves of Highland Park begin to fall and the crisp air signals the arrival of Thanksgiving, families across the community prepare for a day filled with turkey, stuffing, and cherished moments with loved ones. However, amidst the holiday cheer, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the state of your home’s plumbing. A clear drain is as essential to a successful Thanksgiving as the perfectly roasted turkey. At Public Service Plumbers and Air Conditioning, we understand the importance of a seamless holiday experience, and we’re here to ensure your plumbing is in top shape for the festivities.
Thanksgiving is a time when your home’s plumbing system is put to the test. With guests arriving and the kitchen bustling with activity, the last thing you want is a plumbing mishap. Here are some essential tips to prepare your plumbing for the holiday season:
1. Prevent Clogged Drains
The kitchen is the heart of Thanksgiving, and with all the cooking and cleaning, your drains can easily become clogged. To prevent this, avoid pouring grease or oil down the sink, as they can solidify and cause blockages. Instead, dispose of them in a container and throw them in the trash. Additionally, use a drain strainer to catch food particles and prevent them from going down the drain.

2. Be Kind to Your Garbage Disposal
Your garbage disposal is a handy tool during Thanksgiving, but it can easily become overwhelmed. Avoid putting fibrous foods like celery, potato peels, and bones down the disposal, as they can cause jams. Instead, dispose of these items in the trash. Run cold water while using the disposal to help solidify any grease and flush it through the system.

3. Check for Leaks
Before the holiday rush, inspect your plumbing for any leaks. Check under sinks, around toilets, and in the basement for any signs of water damage or mold. Addressing leaks early can prevent more significant issues during Thanksgiving.
If you encounter any leaks, our team at Public Service Plumbers is ready to assist. Learn more about our faucet repair and installation services.
4. Prepare Your Bathroom
With guests in the house, your bathroom will see increased use. Ensure your toilets are flushing correctly and that there are no clogs. Keep a plunger handy just in case. Additionally, check that your water heater is functioning efficiently to provide enough hot water for everyone.
