“Drain line issues, basically clogged sewer lines, people flushing stuff down the toilet that shouldn’t be flushed.” While bathrooms are a big problem during the holiday, the most common issue, according to plumbers, starts at the kitchen sink. People often throw their Thanksgiving scraps down the drain.
“So, big things like potato peels and bones and stuff like that, you don’t necessarily want to put down the drain,” Saliba said.“In a typical unclogging of a main sewer line, $300 to $400,” Saliba said.“Like the toilet or the disposal, the more water you can run down, you give it a good drink of water to flush it out, you know?” Saliba said. “So, yes, running more water, flushing more times, theoretically, would help push the waste down better.
