From our family to yours, wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Did you know that Thanksgiving is the cause of more drain & garbage disposal clogs than any other day of the year? Here are a few tips to keep your Thanksgiving clog free. (1) Don't pour any oil, butter or turkey drippings (grease) down the drain. The grease becomes like candle wax when it cools and clogs the drain.
