Many large meals will be cooked over the holidays with family in town and it is important to keep in mind the strain one can put on drain pipes. Fat from cooking, oil, grease, leftover food, bone scraps, and many other thick and congealing substances will be tossed down the sink drain without a care. Your Atlanta GA drain cleaning experts at Fulton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning want to remind you of a few things before you scrape off your plate or dump your leftover oils into your drain pipes.
Much of the traditional holiday food menu contains fatty oils and grease. Items such as roasted chicken, pie, cookie dough, sauces and gravy, oils, butter, and steak juices have clog creating substance. Water can’t carry all of these substances down the sink drain pipes and too much of them will create a major backup.
Also, some of these oils are not environmentally friendly, aside from the danger of clogging your drain. In most cities and metropolitan areas, you can take up to 10 gallons to local landfill’s that have household and hazardous waste collection facilities. Check your local Atlanta GA city website to find where these landfills are located. Oils are often reused in an environmentally friendly way and recycled to make another usable product.
Your local Atlanta GA plumber at Fulton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning most likely has family of his own in town over the holidays. And while emergency plumbing service is offered, following these simple steps to keep your plumbing draining smoothly over the holidays can’t hurt:
- Do not dump cooking oils and grease into sink drains
- Food scraps should be put into a plastic trash bag
- Cooking grease should be cooled and then scraped into trash bags
- “Unflushables” such as baby wipes, diapers, rags, paper towels, toilet bowel cleaning pads, hygiene products and anything that will not breakup or dissolve in water should not be flushed down the toilet
