The day after Thanksgiving is the single busiest day of the year for Roto-Rooter’s residential plumbers. Big holiday meal prep
aration and cleanup mean lots of grease and food go down the kitchen drain into the garbage disposal. Holiday guests require additional clothes washing, showers and toilet flushes, all of which put a strain on household plumbing.
Often, a house already has partially clogged drains that aren’t noticeable until holiday guests arrive and overwhelm the system and virtually every traditional Thanksgiving dish is an ideal clog culprit if it goes down the drain.
Incoming calls to Roto-Rooter, mostly for kitchen plumbing jobs, will jump 50% over an average Friday. The four-day Thanksgiving weekend represents a 21% increase over any other Thursday through Sunday period of the year. But we at Roto-Rooter will have enough plumbers on duty to handle the extra demand.
By following these recommendations, Thanksgiving hosts can avoid a visit from their plumber over the holiday weekend:
· Never pour fats or cooking oils down drains. They solidify in pipes. Instead, wipe grease from pots with paper towels and throw in trash.
· No stringy, fibrous or starchy waste in the garbage disposal (poultry skins, celery, fruit & potato peels). Disposals can’t sufficiently grind these items.
· Make sure the disposal is running when you put food into it. Don’t wait until it’s full to turn it on.
· Wait ten minutes between showers so slow drains have time to do their job.
· Never flush cotton balls, swabs, hair or facial scrub pads down a toilet. They don’t dissolve and they cause clogs.
If you need a plumber, call before the holiday to avoid delays and holiday service charges. While our company-owned locations no longer charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays, this is not always the case with some independent Roto-Rooter franchises. I'm pretty sure that's why we get fewer calls on Thanksgiving Day but we get slammed the very next day. Either way, we'll be available for any emergency service as your 24 hour plumbing company.

Roto-Rooter. Our name has been known throughout the United States since 1935. And we’re the Hawaii plumbers to call for kitchen plumbing jobs, bathroom plumbing solutions, sewer repair and more. Here’s what one of our customers had to say:
California. My husband and I wanted to let you know that "Q" is the best Palo Alto plumber we have ever had! He came out, gave us a quote, and the following week we scheduled the local plumbing job. He was on time, worked efficiently, explained what he was doing, and completed the work within the time frame he had estimated. It doesn't get any better than that! We felt the plumbing service was excellent and the price was within our budget. We have used other Palo Alto plumbers previously; however, we will now recommend Roto-Rooter to all of our friends."

ed by unthreading counterclockwise. At the back end of the strainer there is a very small opening designed to restrict the flow of water to conservation standards and to insert air to help prevent water from splashing. They commonly can get clogged, which reduces the pressure available to the faucet. It is a good idea to clean the aerators annually to improve the functionality of your faucet. 
Many of my friends and acquaintenances know I work for Roto-Rooter. And it’s surprising how many of them ask me for plumbing or drain cleaning advice, how to request service or how to obtain coupons.
The point is that we're trying to go where you are, not to be a spammer but a helpful friend that is easy to find when you need a friend most...like say when the commercial plumbing fails in a bottling plant on a Sunday afternoon or when someone is dealing with a leaky faucet in Baltimore. Social networks are just another way to stay within easy reach. After all, shouldn't a 24 hour plumbing company be highly accessible?
