The number ONE thing that both plumbers and Thanksgiving have in common is that they are both extremely busy!

Yes, it’s very true that in general, holidays are very busy for plumbers. Especially Emergency Plumbers because as we all know, Murphy’s Law is in full force during the holidays.

Searching For Plumbers Open on Thanksgiving?

Atlantis Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us!770-505-8570

The list of plumbing problems that could occur are endless!

  • Toilet(s) could back up
  • Pipes could begin leaking resulting in minor flooding
  • Garbage disposals could get clogged (this happens very often)
  • And much more

Extra guests means extra strain on the home’s plumbing system resulting in a myriad of problems including clogged toilets and clogs in garbage disposals.

No doubt that clogged garbage disposals are one of the main problems our plumbers encounter during the holiday season.

It’s very common, during Thanksgiving and other holidays that food and objects end up down the drain. After all, the kitchen is usually busier than ever with lots of cooking and lots of family and friends. It’s easy to see how more grease, rice, bones, etc. can end up in the garbage disposal.

Highly Recommended!!5 out of 5 stars“Responded quickly to my call when others wouldn’t, because of the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a faulty water heater leaking hot water. From the time of call to the time of repair just a few hours passed by. A month later my electric bill is down $50 a month! Thank you Atlantis Plumbing!!”
