Happy Halloween
There are two sides to Halloween. There's the spooky ghosts and bloody zombies. Then there's the pretty princesses and funny clowns. All in all, Halloween tends to be a pretty fun holiday for adults and kids alike. What's not so fun is a plumbing emergency "trick." Your local Columbia CT plumber explains how to keep the jack o' lanterns from exacting their revenge!
Avoid a spooky plumbing emergency
If you haven't carved your pumpkin yet, it's not too late. Now's the perfect time, so that trick or treaters can still enjoy them in a couple weeks. We can't help you with a design or carving technique, but we do have one tip.After you've scooped out all the guts and seeds, do NOT flush them down the toilet. Instead, throw them in the trash. 'Green' alternatives are to throw them in your compost pile, or donate them to a local Columbia CT farmer. The cows or pigs will LOVE you!
Pumpkin guts are stringy. They can clog up your garbage disposal and burn out the motor. Flushing them down the toilet could cause everything in your home to back up.
What's scarier? Gory Halloween costumes and pranks? Or an emergency plumbing bill?
