Q: Is Thanksgiving the busiest day for plumbers?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s true: Thanksgiving is known as one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers. The day after Thanksgiving is also a jam-packed day, as people reckon with the issues caused by pushing too much turkey meat down the garbage disposal or other plumbing problems. If you run into a plumbing emergency during Thanksgiving, you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that plenty of plumbers work on Thanksgiving due to the uptick in demand.</p></div>

Q: How do I clean my sewer line from my house to the street?

• <div><p>First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap&mdash;you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don&rsquo;t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart. </p></div>

Q: How do I prevent drain blockages?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, avoiding grease disposal in sinks, and installing drain strainers help prevent clogs.</p></div>

Q: What are the typical costs of clearing a drain block?

• <div><p>Costs vary by severity and access requirements. Typical pricing ranges from $100 to $350, increasing with complexity or for emergency services.</p></div>
