The holidays can be tough on plumbing. It’s no coincidence that garbage disposers often break on Thanksgiving Day. Poultry skin and pumpkin pulp are prime clog culprits. Add well-meaning guests who want to pitch in and you can see how disaster makes it onto the menu.
It's a recipe that keeps plumbers busy unclogging toilets and sinks as well as garbage disposers. "We get about a 50 percent increase in business the day after Thanksgiving compared to an average Friday," says Rosun. "And we see a 27 percent uptick in business that weekend compared to the other weekends."
Stringy, fibrous, and starchy foods are hard to grind and tough on a garbage disposer. Better to toss them in the garbage or the compost pile. Poultry skin, potato peels, rice, celery, banana peels, and pumpkin pulp are also on the hard-to-grind list.
Oils and fats solidify and can choke drains. So collect the fat in a jar, let it congeal, then throw it away. In most cases, if the disposer is broken and clogged, the sink won’t drain easily.
