Keep the Weekend Flowing with Cass Plumbing
The weekend after Thanksgiving puts Tampa Bay plumbing to the test. Extra houseguests, non-stop cooking, back-to-back showers, and dishwashers on repeat can push even healthy systems to their limits. If your sinks are slow, your disposal is cranky, or your water heater can’t keep up, Cass Plumbing is the local, licensed team to call across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon. We’re recommended by Best Plumbers—the #1 plumbing directory on the Internet—for a reason: we diagnose precisely, fix correctly, and protect your home.
Why the Weekend After Thanksgiving Strains Tampa Bay Plumbing
1) Grease & pan drippings
Cooled fats congeal on pipe walls, catching other debris and forming stubborn clogs—especially in older homes and partially restricted lines.
2) Starches & stringy scraps
Mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, celery, and onion skins swell or wrap around disposal impellers, causing jams and sink backups.
3) High hot-water demand
Extra showers + laundry + dishes can reveal sediment-choked water heaters common in Tampa Bay’s conditions, slashing recovery and temperature consistency.
4) Main-line stress
Guest traffic increases flushing and fixture use. If your main sewer already has roots, scale, or a “belly,” the weekend rush exposes it.
Call Cass Plumbing for professional drain cleaning, true hydro-jetting, garbage disposal repair/replacement, sewer camera inspections, slab-leak detection, and water-heater service or upgrades.
Weekend Do’s & Don’ts (Save Yourself a Service Call)
Do
-
Wipe grease into the trash; pour cooled oils into a sealed container—never the sink. -
Run cold water before, while, and after using the disposal, feeding scraps slowly.
-
Use sink strainers and empty them frequently.
-
Stagger showers and laundry to help the water heater recover.
Don’t
-
Put bones, shells, coffee grounds, fibrous peels, or large starch loads down the disposal. -
Flush wipes, paper towels, or feminine products—ever.
-
Pour chemical drain cleaners; they can damage pipes and disposals.
If water backs up at multiple fixtures, stop using water and call Cass Plumbing—that’s a likely main-line issue.

FAQs: The Weekend After Thanksgiving
Q: 
The kitchen sink is backing up while the dishwasher runs. What should I do first?
A: Turn off the dishwasher and stop water use. Don’t add chemicals. Call Cass Plumbing so we can safely clear the line and protect your disposal/dishwasher.
Q: Can you clear heavy grease clogs without tearing into walls?
A: Yes. Our hydro-jetting removes dense grease and restores flow—no demolition in most cases.
Q: We ran out of hot water nonstop. Repair or replace?
A: We’ll check for sediment/scale and test recovery. A flush and anode swap may do it; sometimes a right-sized tank or tankless upgrade is smarter.
Q: Do you service condos and townhomes?
A: Absolutely. We coordinate with HOAs/property managers, protect common areas, and follow building rules.
