Protect Your Drains During the Holidays

Published November 1, 2026 · 4 min read

The holidays mean big meals, full sinks, and the busiest season of the year for emergency drain calls. A little care keeps your kitchen line flowing while the guests are over.

The Holiday Danger Zone

Turkey grease, mashed-potato starch, stuffing scraps, and a sink full of dishes are a perfect storm for a kitchen clog — right when you have a house full of people and no time for a backup.

Keep It Flowing

  • Never pour turkey grease or oil down the drain — can it and trash it
  • Scrape plates into the trash before rinsing
  • Go easy on the garbage disposal with starchy and fibrous foods
  • Run cold water through the disposal, not hot

If It Backs Up Anyway

We run service through the holidays. If your sink gives out mid-celebration, call and we'll get you flowing again.
