Turkey, Stuffing... and a Clear Drain: Thanksgiving Plumbing Prep Guide

As the aroma of turkey and stuffing fills the air in Biloxi, the last thing you want is a plumbing disaster to disrupt your Thanksgiving festivities. The joy of Thanksgiving lies in togetherness, but an unexpected plumbing issue can quickly ruin the day. Preparing your home’s plumbing system for the holiday season is as essential as perfecting your pumpkin pie recipe. At Ball Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we’re here to help you keep your home running smoothly, ensuring your Thanksgiving is memorable for all the right reasons.

How Plumbing Issues Can Impact Your Holiday

Thanksgiving is a time when your home’s plumbing system is put to the test. With more people using the facilities and an increased amount of food waste, your drains and pipes can easily become overwhelmed. Plumbing issues such as clogged drains, malfunctioning garbage disposals, or a struggling water heater can quickly turn a joyous gathering into a stressful situation. That’s why preparing your plumbing in advance is crucial.

Essential Plumbing Prep Tips for Thanksgiving

1. Inspect and Clear Your Drains Early

Before the holiday rush, check your drains for signs of clogs or slow drainage. Addressing these issues early can save you from a potential disaster when guests arrive. If you notice any problems, consider scheduling a professional drain cleaning. At Ball Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we offer a $ Drain Clearing with a Free Camera Inspection, ensuring your drains are clear and ready for the holiday.

2. Know What Not to Put Down Your Drains

During meal prep, it’s easy to let food scraps slip down the sink. However, items like grease, bones, and fibrous vegetables can cause significant blockages. Dispose of these materials in the trash or compost bin to prevent drain issues. For a detailed guide, check out our article on what you should never put down your garbage disposal.

3. Ensure Your Water Heater Is Ready for Guests

With guests in the house, your water heater will be working overtime to provide hot water for showers and dishwashing. Check its performance to ensure it’s in good condition. If you’re unsure about its readiness, our team offers water heater maintenance to ensure your system is up to the task.

4. Prepare Your Plumbing for Increased Usage

More guests mean increased use of toilets and sinks, which can strain your plumbing system. Ensure all fixtures are functioning properly and consider scheduling a plumbing safety inspection to catch potential problems before they escalate.
