Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for family, food, and… clogged drains?
Plumbers across the country refer to the day after Thanksgiving as “Brown Day” (or Brown Friday) because it’s one of the busiest days of the year for plumbing backups and sewer line issues.
With large meals, extra guests, and overloaded kitchens, pipes take a beating — and when things go wrong, water damage isn’t far behind.
Here are a few quick tips to avoid holiday water disasters:
✅ Don’t put grease, oil, or fat down the drain
✅ Avoid stuffing potato peels, rice, or pasta into the disposal
✅ Run plenty of water when using the garbage disposal
✅ Ask guests to wait between showers to prevent drain overload
