Plumbing Contractors in Saginaw TX and elsewhere tend to get the most calls for repair work on the day after Thanksgiving, and business often doesn’t let up through the entire weekend. The combination of preparing a huge meal and having lots of guests over the house leads many homeowners to experience problems with the plumbing.
Garbage Disposal Problems
Especially when someone doesn’t really know how to properly use a garbage disposal, the equipment can break down. Guests in the home may not know that they should run water when grinding up scraps. They also probably don’t understand that certain food items should not be put down the disposal. For instance, anything but the smallest turkey bones should go in the trash and not in the disposal. The disposal also probably cannot manage large amounts of potato peels and rice, leading to clogs in the pipes. In addition, a little kid who has never seen a garbage disposal before might think it’s funny to toss something in there, such as a penny or a plastic toy. Plumbing Contractors in Saginaw TX can fix the disposal and explain what went wrong.
Sink Drain Mistakes
Clogs in the pipes from substances in sink drains also cause a lot of calls for repair. Someone might pour a large amount of grease down the drain, for example, leading to a seriously clogged pipe. Draining the oil from the turkey into the sink is never a good idea.
Bathroom Issues
A clogged-up toilet can typically be resolved with a plunger, but sometimes other issues develop. If the sewer system is susceptible to backups, people living in the house are accustomed to not flushing anything but organic waste and toilet paper. Guests may not understand the importance of this, even if they’re asked to be careful. The flushing of tampons, facial tissues, sanitary wipes and other items can lead to a backup if those items catch onto tiny roots growing into the sewer pipe buried in the yard. A service such as Ace Repair Plumbing is ready to provide prompt root-clearing service when an unpleasant episode like this occurs.
