For National Guacamole Day - Brightwater Plumbing of Orlando offers free consultations and a friendly PSA - the avocado pit is enemy number one for your garbage disposal.
Winter Garden, FL (PRUnderground) September 5th, 2026
Guacamole season is here, and Brightwater Plumbing of Orlando has a message for home chefs across Winter Garden: love the avocado, lose the pit. With National Guacamole Day approaching, the local plumbing company is reminding residents that the single most common cause of jammed and burnt-out disposals isn't grease or fibrous veggies, it's that rock-hard seed getting tossed down the drain out of habit.
"We see it every guacamole season without fail," said Jeffery Watson, owner of Brightwater Plumbing of Orlando. "People assume if it fits in the disposal, it belongs in the disposal. Pits are too hard and too round, they just spin instead of grinding, and that's how you burn out a motor or crack a blade. Toss the pit in the trash or compost, not the sink."
To help homeowners avoid an emergency call over queso and chips, Brightwater is offering a free plumbing consultation for any Winter Garden resident who mentions this release. The offer covers a no-cost inspection of kitchen disposals, drain lines, or general plumbing concerns, now through the end of September. Residents can book by calling or mentioning "Guac Day Consult" when they reach out.
Brightwater also recommends a simple do's-and-don'ts rule of thumb: peels, small scraps, and skins are generally fine in moderation; pits, fibrous strings, and large chunks should always go in the trash.
To schedule a free consultation or ask a plumbing question, Winter Garden residents can contact Brightwater Plumbing of Orlando directly by phone (407) 307-1625 or through their website.
