The Importance of Pre-Thanksgiving Plumbing Prep

Thanksgiving brings family, friends, and feasting—but it can also bring plumbing mishaps if you’re unprepared. Increased use of kitchen sinks, garbage disposals, and bathrooms puts strain on your plumbing system. A clogged drain or malfunctioning disposal can quickly disrupt your holiday joy. Taking proactive steps to prepare your plumbing will ensure your Thanksgiving celebrations are stress-free.

Tips for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving

  1. Inspect Your Drains and Pipes
    Look for signs of slow-draining sinks or unusual odors that might indicate a blockage. Schedule a professional drain cleaning service to address potential issues. Take advantage of our $99 Drain Clearing special to ensure your drains are clear and ready for the holiday.
  2. Be Mindful of What Goes Down the Drain
    Avoid putting grease, oil, or fibrous food scraps down your drains, as they can clog pipes and damage garbage disposals. Instead, dispose of these materials in the trash or compost. For more guidance, check out our drain safety tips.
  3. Test Your Garbage Disposal
    Ensure your garbage disposal is functioning properly. Use cold water when operating it, and avoid overloading it with food waste. If it’s making unusual noises or not working as expected, schedule a professional inspection with Mathews CCAC.
  4. Check for Leaks
    Inspect under sinks and around toilets for signs of leaks, which can cause water damage and higher utility bills. If you notice any leaks, contact us for reliable plumbing repair services.
  5. Prepare Your Bathroom
    With guests visiting, your bathroom will experience more use. Make sure toilets flush correctly, and check for clogs or leaks. Stock up on essentials like toilet paper and soap to ensure guest comfort.

Great company. Contacted my current AC company to check on my warranty before charging me anything. Saved me a bunch of money and headache if dealing with anything. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.
