Newburgh plumber Uppercut Plumbing shares tips to avoid holiday clogs and keep kitchens, showers and water heaters running through Thanksgiving on November 26.
Newburgh, NY (PRUnderground) November 14th, 2026
The turkey gets the spotlight, but the kitchen sink does the real work on Thanksgiving. Between grease from the roasting pan, potato peels, and a house full of guests taking back-to-back showers, plumbers across the country count the days around the holiday among the busiest of the year. Uppercut Plumbing of Newburgh wants Orange County families to spend November 26 at the table, not waiting on a plumber.
"Every year we get the same calls the day after Thanksgiving. Somebody poured the grease down the sink, or the garbage disposal took on more potato peels than it could handle," said Trevor, of Uppercut Plumbing. "A few simple habits go a long way. Let grease cool and toss it in the trash, scrape plates before they hit the sink, and space out showers so the water heater can keep up."
Grease is the biggest culprit. It cools, hardens on the pipe wall, and slowly narrows the line until the sink backs up. If more than one drain in the house runs slow at the same time, or a toilet bubbles when the dishwasher drains, the problem is likely in the main line. Uppercut Plumbing's drainage service team handles drain cleaning, sewer line clearing, and camera inspections to find out exactly where things stopped moving. For hosts getting ready ahead of time, the company's plumbing services (uppercutplumbing.com/plumbing-services) include water heater service and new fixture and sink installations before the guests arrive.
Family owned and licensed and insured, Uppercut Plumbing serves Newburgh and communities across Orange County, with emergency plumbing service available when the holiday doesn't go as planned.
To schedule service before Thanksgiving, call Uppercut Plumbing at (845) 674-3616 or visit uppercutplumbing.com.
