The fireworks are over, the grill’s cooled down, and the guests have gone home—but your plumbing might still be feeling the heat. After a busy Independence Day weekend, many San Francisco homeowners are left with clogged drains, overworked water heaters, and garbage disposals that just can’t keep up.

At Dr. Drain Plumbing and Rooter, we’ve seen it all. From backed-up kitchen sinks to toilets that won’t flush, the days following a major holiday are some of the busiest for emergency plumbing calls. But with a little proactive care, you can avoid costly repairs and keep your system running smoothly.

🔧 Common Post-Holiday Plumbing Problems:

Clogged kitchen drains from food scraps, grease, and BBQ leftovers
Garbage disposal jams caused by bones, corn husks, and fibrous veggies
Toilet clogs from increased usage and improper flushing
Water heater strain from back-to-back showers and dishwashing
Sewer line backups due to excess water usage and aging infrastructure

🛠️ What You Can Do Today:

Flush your drains with hot water and baking soda to clear minor buildup
Inspect your garbage disposal—if it’s humming but not spinning, it may be jammed
Check your water heater for signs of wear, leaks, or inconsistent temperature
Schedule a sewer camera inspection to catch hidden blockages before they escalate
Book a professional drain cleaning if your sinks or tubs are draining slowly

Our team uses hydro jetting, smart leak detection, and precision plumbing tools to restore your system fast. We’re available 24/7 across San Francisco, Daly City, South San Francisco, and Pacifica, and we’re ready to help you bounce back from the holiday chaos.

🎁 July Specials Still Available:

✅ $30 OFF for new customers
✅ $100 OFF water heater installation

These offers are valid through the end of July—perfect timing if your water heater is on its last leg or your drains need a deep clean.

🧠 Pro Tip:

If your garbage disposal smells funky, toss in a few ice cubes and citrus peels, then run cold water while it grinds. It’ll sharpen the blades and freshen the unit naturally.
