Andover CT Plumber Halloween Tips

Halloween candy hit the shelves at the end of August this year. Costumes started appearing in September. Now that it's October, we can say it's officially Halloween season in Andover CT!

Before you carve into those pumpkins, check out these plumbing tips from your Andover CT plumber.

Avoid clogged drains

As scary as some of the costumes are, they aren't nearly as frightening as what a pumpkin can do to your plumbing system.

After your pumpkin prepped for carving or baking, you're left with a stringy, seedy mess. It can be tempting to just flush it down the toilet. Please don't! Dump it in the trash can instead. Otherwise, the toilet may clog or cause your entire plumbing system to back up.

"But, I have a garbage disposal, I'll just use that!" WRONG. Your garbage disposal is pretty powerful. But its motor is no match for pumpkin guts. Your disposal will burn out trying to grind pumpkin seeds and pulp. Chuck it all in the trash, or put it outside for wildlife to take care of! A local Andover CT farmer would also appreciate the donation for his/her animals :-)

    Bruce & Georgia Stauffer

    I had Rapid Service come to my home because there was a saddle valve under my kitchen sink that was about to make a huge mess. I wasn't able to use my filtered water faucet until the repair was made. The technician fixed it AND had a great attitude while he worked. That is a rare thing lately...

    My wife and I want you to know that we were very satisfied with our bathroom remodeling that Andy performed professionally, carefully and efficiently. The end result is a bathroom that is properly updated, functions perfectly and looks very attractive...
