FAQs
Should my garbage disposal be this loud?
Loud noises from your garbage disposal can be caused by worn impellers, stuck objects, loose mounting bolts, faulty motors, or lack of lubrication. If you can’t determine the source of the noise, it’s best to have a plumber check it out.
How can I prevent my garbage disposal from jamming?
A clog or jam in your garbage disposal can be prevented by avoiding overloading it with large quantities of food waste at once. Always run cold water while the garbage disposal grinds waste, and continue running water for a few seconds after to ensure proper flushing. Do not pour fat or grease into the disposal, which can lead to severe clogs and drain complications.
Why does my shower drip sometimes?
Worn-out seals or faulty valves often cause dripping showers. A dripping shower can waste hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water if left broken. Our team can inspect your shower and recommend the necessary repairs to stop the drip for good.
What should I do if my kitchen sink is clogged?
If your kitchen sink is clogged, refrain from using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your pipes. You can start by trying a plunger to dislodge the blockage. If that doesn’t work, another DIY method is to pour boiling water down the drain to break up grease and debris.
