A&B Plumbing and Mechanical | Local Plumbing Company in Gulfport, MS

If your garbage disposal is jammed, first turn off the power at the circuit breaker for safety. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the unit. You can try using an Allen wrench in the hex socket at the bottom of the disposal to manually turn the blades and dislodge the obstruction. If that doesn't work, or if the disposal is making unusual noises, it's best to call A&B Plumbing and Mechanical. Our Gulfport technicians can quickly diagnose and repair the issue, whether it's a simple jam or a more complex mechanical problem, to get your kitchen running smoothly again.

To prevent sediment buildup in your water heater, which is common in Gulfport due to local water hardness, we recommend flushing the tank annually. This involves draining a few gallons from the bottom valve to remove accumulated minerals. Additionally, consider installing a water softener if you have hard water. At A&B Plumbing and Mechanical, we offer water heater maintenance services, including sediment flushing and inspections, to extend the life of your unit and improve efficiency. If you notice reduced hot water or strange noises, contact us for a repair or installation to ensure reliable performance.
