Busy Plumbing Day Expected

TYLER — Local plumbers say the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for them. It’s because after the holiday meal, people get rid of waste in lots of ways, like the kitchen drain, the garbage disposal, even flushing it down the toilet. One plumbing company says people think disposals and toilets are trash cans. Tommy Griffin with Rudd Plumbing says East Texans putting bones down the kitchen disposal keep him busy. He says putting too much food in the disposal stops up the kitchen sink drain, sometimes moving down and stopping the main sewer. Griffin’s advice: use lots of water when putting anything down the disposal.
