The holiday season brings gatherings, cooking, and increased demand on household plumbing—especially in Point Breeze, Graduate Hospital, Grays Ferry, and Southwest Philly.
This time of year, we receive the highest number of calls for clogged toilets, overwhelmed garbage disposals, and sudden water line repairs.
Grease, food scraps, and wipes are major culprits behind backups during winter. In one recent call from Grays Ferry, a family experienced a complete sewer backup caused by holiday cooking grease hardening inside the line. Our emergency team cleared the blockage and performed a camera inspection to ensure the issue wouldn’t return.
The EPA urges homeowners not to pour grease down drains and to use strainers to capture food scraps.
