Keeping it Plumbing Scare-Free in Amarillo and Canyon TX
Halloween is everyone’s favorite spooky time of the year. It filled with crazy costumes, scary movies and tricks and treats galore. Not only does all of the rituals of Halloween often leave you clutching your chest with fear, but they can also be a terror for your plumbing system! Between the whistling, howling pipes and the messy surprises you often find in your drains and the odd smells as though something may have been scared stiff in your kitchen, it can be a chilling time of year in your home! At Pratt Plumbing, we enjoy the holiday season and want you to as well which is why we have a few pointers to avoid unnecessary plumbing problems in your home.

Pumpkin Troubles:
Be careful when carving! It is a staple of every fall season but can truly turn into a horror show for your kitchen drain and garbage disposal. When you remove the pulp, seeds and insides of your pumpkins this month, do not put them down the drain! That can lead to serious drain cleaning problems for your drain. Also, avoid putting them in the garbage disposal. Fibrous, stringy foods (like what you find inside your pumpkin) can catch onto your garbage disposal blades and cause malfunctions. Don’t take any chances – use the garbage!
Frosty Freezes:
The fall can give you the chills… especially when the weather shifts and the biting wind and weather of October hits you! One warning sign you should look out for that the weather could be hazardous for your plumbing system is frost. If you see frost on your lawn or your outdoor decorations and pumpkins, beware of pipe damage! Overnight freezes can be damaging to your copper pipes or PEX pipes and it is important to fix old, cracked pipes to make sure you don’t have a problem. Get your pipes inspected today and avoid frozen pipes this season.
