Plumbers refer to the day after Thanksgiving as "Brown Friday" because it is their busiest day of the year, dealing with clogged drains and broken garbage disposals caused by improper disposal of Thanksgiving waste. To avoid calling a plumber, hosts should remind guests not to throw all waste down garbage disposals, avoid pouring fatty oils and grease down the drain, and refrain from using toilets as a second trash can.
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.
