"Preventing Plumbing Nightmares on 'Brown Friday' and Thanksgiving"

Plumbers are preparing for their busiest day of the year, known as "Brown Friday," which occurs the day after Thanksgiving. Yelp has reported a 99% increase in emergency plumbing service bookings on this day, with many people seeking help to unclog toilets and fix drains after Thanksgiving feasts. Portland, Oregon, ranked as the most clogged city, followed by Virginia Beach, Raleigh, Indianapolis, and Jacksonville. To prevent plumbing emergencies, homeowners are advised to get their pipes checked before Thanksgiving and remind guests about proper bathroom etiquette. Cleaning off plates and using sink strainers to catch food scraps can also help prevent clogged drains.
