Green Friday

Today is affectionately known in the industry as Brown Friday, one of the busiest plumbing and drain cleaning days for emergency calls, clogs, drainline clears, etc. as a result from the holidays. According to Roto Rooter, the day after Thanksgiving consistently brings a 50% spike in service calls—making it the busiest day of the year for the industry.

Now, I know some of the contractors I’ve talked with don’t seem to mind the day and its name, but aren’t we trying to steer away from the stigma of all plumbers do is work with shit? So I am petitioning that we change the name from Brown Friday to Green Friday. Since it’s one of the busiest days, let’s get that bag!

Home services company JackRabbit, located in Ocala, Fla., surprised local military hero Pasquale Burgese with a free air conditioning unit to honor his service and dedication to our nation. Local technicians chose the deserving Veteran for the free A/C unit and installation, valued at $10,000 as part of their Thanksgiving Service Initiative. Pasquale Burgese, a disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran, served from 1981 to 1985 as a wireman with Lima Company during the Beirut deployment.
