Most people are looking forward to Thanksgiving holiday season. It’s the great time to be thankful for all the blessings given to you in this life, as well as enjoying abundant meals at Thanksgiving dinner together with your family members.

So here you are entering the room and gazing upon all the glorious food! It seems endless: turkey, potato casserole, cranberry sauce, spaghetti, mashed potatoes, salads, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, brownies, and what not! You can’t wait to taste everything, although you realize that you won’t be able to eat even half of the whole menu.

The described picture will be observed in homes all over Los Angeles County on upcoming Thanksgiving Day, and for our residential and commercial customers to feel happy, we’d like you to consider a few tips, when you are cooking meals this holiday season.

Black Friday is one of the busiest days not just for shopaholics, but also for plumbers around the United States, because a lot of people do not know (or do not want to know) how to dispose of some food items. The day after Thanksgiving people cannot go shopping, instead they have to call the plumber with broken pipes, clogged drains and garbage disposals. This happens because they washed grease, potato skins, banana peels, rice and spaghetti down the drain or garbage disposal. Little did they know! These products seem quite harmless; however, when they are mixed together, they form a paste that swells in your pipes and as a result causes their ruptures. Pumpkin inside contents (or any other products having rope-like fibers) can get twisted around your garbage disposal blades, causing its overheating and damage.

Clogged toilets due to many guests using your bathroom and interior flooding could eventually lead to complete remodeling of your bathroom. Excessive use of your toilets results in great losses for you. In order to avoid this problem, hang a sign in your bathroom asking guests not to flush anything (except natural waste and used toilet paper) down the toilet drain. If too much toilet paper is flushed down at one time, it will not dissolve instantly, resulting in a major backlog.
