All New Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Lubbock, TX 79416

Absolutely. During a routine plumbing inspection, our Lubbock technicians thoroughly check your kitchen drain lines, garbage disposal unit, and connections. We can identify early signs of wear, minor jams, or improper installation that often lead to major clogs. This proactive approach helps Lubbock homeowners avoid sudden breakdowns and costly emergency repairs, especially with the strain disposals face from our local cooking habits.

In our West Texas climate, cooking oils and fats can solidify quickly in pipes after washing dishes. This builds up over time, creating tough blockages. At All New Plumbing, we use professional-grade hydro-jetting and specialized augers to safely and completely clear these grease clogs without damaging your pipes. We'll also give you practical tips to help prevent future buildup in your Lubbock home.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the unit and pipes. For a simple jam, you can try using the included hex key to manually turn the motor from the bottom. However, if it's persistently jammed or making unusual noises, it's best to call us. Our local plumbers can safely dislodge the obstruction, inspect for damage from hard local water or food scraps, and get your kitchen back in working order.
