Keep the Holidays Flowing Smoothly: Thanksgiving Plumbing Tips from Metcalf Plumbing

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to gather with loved ones for the holiday season. While you’re prepping that delicious Thanksgiving feast, make sure everything flows smoothly in your kitchen and bathrooms!

At Metcalf Plumbing, we proudly serve homeowners in Catonsville, Ellicott City, Columbia, and throughout Baltimore County and Howard County. Whether you’re hosting the big dinner or just getting ready for guests, we’re here to help keep your plumbing in top shape.

Prepping Dinner? Keep the Disposal Happy!

When cooking up your holiday favorites, remember that not all food scraps belong in the garbage disposal. While small bits are fine, larger debris like potato peels, rice, and noodles can quickly lead to clogs and backups. Toss those scraps in the trash instead of the sink to keep your disposal running smoothly.

If you do run into a stubborn clog or jam, Metcalf Plumbing’s Baltimore and Howard County plumbers are just a call away—we’ll get your kitchen sink back in working order before your guests arrive!

Hosting Guests? Keep Things Flowing!

A full house means more flushes! To keep everything running smoothly, remind your guests that only toilet paper should be flushed. Items like “flushable” wipes, tampons, and paper towels can cause serious plumbing issues. Keeping a small trash can handy helps prevent inconvenient (and embarrassing) blockages during your celebration.

If you live in Catonsville, Ellicott City, or Columbia, and notice slow drains or gurgling toilets, our licensed plumbers can perform a quick inspection to ensure your plumbing system is holiday-ready.

Prevent a Backup: Protect Your Pipes

Your plumbing works overtime during the holidays. Avoid rinsing foods like mashed potatoes, grease, and gravy down the drain, these can harden and cause major blockages. Remind everyone to scrape plates into the trash before rinsing dishes.

Regular drain maintenance can go a long way toward preventing costly repairs. Metcalf Plumbing offers drain cleaning services in Catonsville, Ellicott City, and the surrounding areas, keeping your pipes clear and stress-free all season long.
