Twenty people crowded into a Denver kitchen the day after Thanksgiving. Leftovers were warming, football was on, and the house was full - which meant kids were everywhere.
That's when one of them climbed onto the counter.
The child slipped, fell into the sink, and the entire fixture dropped straight through the granite countertop. Water poured out, the sink hung by its plumbing lines, and the celebration stopped immediately.
The family called Fix-It 24/7, hoping someone could come fast. Our emergency plumbing team - Jeremy and Cade - offered to come that night, but the family opted for first thing in the morning. Our crew showed up right on time.
Within a few hours, Jeremy and Cade rebuilt the sink mount, secured the countertop, reconnected all the plumbing, and got the kitchen working again. What started as a holiday disaster ended with a functioning sink, visible relief, and a family who told us they'd just made two new friends.
The day after Thanksgiving is called Brown Friday in the plumbing world, and it's the single busiest day of the year. Plumbing calls nationwide jump by 50% as kitchens and bathrooms get hammered by holiday use.
The most common problems: clogged kitchen drains packed with grease and food scraps, garbage disposals jammed with things they shouldn't be grinding, toilets that can't handle the guest bathroom traffic, sewer lines that back up under the load, and dishwashers that finally quit after one too many cycles.
Our Fix-It 24/7 Denver crews saw it all this year. Mainline backups in Highlands Ranch. Grease-clogged sinks in Lakewood. Overflowing guest bathrooms in Aurora. Our technicians ran back-to-back calls all day, helping families get their homes working again so the holiday could continue.
