The day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest drain days of the year, and the reason is simple: a full house, a full kitchen and a garbage disposal treated like a trash can.
Keep fats, oils, poultry skin, stuffing and potato peels out of the drain entirely. Run cold water when the disposal is on, and give the dishwasher a break between loads.
More guests also means more demand on your water heater. If it was already running out early for your household, it will not keep up with a full house, and that is worth handling before the relatives arrive.
Finally, know where your main shutoff is and make sure it turns. That one piece of knowledge is the difference between a wet floor and a flooded house.
