Aarons Drain Service - Santa Cruz's Experienced Plumber

Absolutely, I can often repair a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Many issues, like jams or motor resets, are fixable without needing a full replacement. I’ll diagnose the problem on-site and provide a straightforward recommendation. If a repair makes sense and is cost-effective for you, that’s what I’ll do. My goal is to give you a reliable, working unit without an unnecessary upgrade.

That’s a common concern. I start with a thorough inspection, which often includes using a camera to look inside your pipes. This lets me see if it’s a standard clog from household use or something more significant, like a broken pipe or fitting. Based on what I find, I’ll explain the issue clearly and outline your repair options, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work begins.

You’re right, those are very common local challenges. For tree root intrusion in sewer lines, I use specialized drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment designed to clear roots effectively and help prevent rapid regrowth. For persistent kitchen grease clogs, hydro-jetting is also the best method—it thoroughly scours the pipe walls to remove grease buildup that typical snaking can miss. Having worked on countless Santa Cruz homes, I’m very familiar with the best approaches for these stubborn, area-specific problems.
