A Brown Friday Means a Fast Call to Isley Plumbing

You’ve been cooking and cleaning for days just to prepare for the family’s Thanksgiving gathering. That mix of heavy cooking, kitchen waste and all those extra guests can put a great deal of extra use on your home’s plumbing systems! A back-up on the Friday after Thanksgiving can be a real pain!

What might have caused my plumbing emergency that left me with backed up kitchen sinks and toilets, sewer line problems, or a leaky dishwasher that has been in overdrive?

  • Clogged kitchen sink. All that oil, turkey grease drippings and forcing of potato peels, rice, pasta, coffee grounds and so much more can put a strain on your kitchen sink.
  • Backed-up toilet. All those guests their excessive trips to the bathroom plus a high use of toilet paper can really cause your toilet to back-up.
  • Slow appliances. How many times did you run the dishwasher amid a houseful of guests eating and showering all around the same time? Overuse can cause some appliances to slow down or stop working all together.
  • Sewer line clog. All the heavy food waste and grease surges and blocks the main sewer line which can cause a houseful of backups all at the same time.
