Brown Friday Plumbing FAQ: Preventing Thanksgiving Drain Disasters

'Brown Friday' is the plumbing industry term for the day after Thanksgiving when service calls surge 50% above average due to holiday cooking grease, starchy foods, and increased household usage from guests overwhelming drains nationwide.

The most common culprits include turkey drippings and cooking grease that solidify in pipes, rice and pasta that break down into clogging gel, overtaxed systems from multiple showers and toilet flushes, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines.
