About Al's Plumbing in Lombard, IL

Garbage disposals in Lombard homes often jam from food scraps like fibrous vegetables, grease, or non-food items. Forcing it can damage the motor. At Al's Plumbing, we safely unjam your unit by clearing the impellers and checking the reset button. If needed, we repair or replace the disposal to prevent future kitchen sink backups, getting your disposal running quietly again.

Low pressure here is often due to mineral buildup in older pipes or aerators, a faulty pressure regulator, or hidden leaks. Al's Plumbing starts by checking your faucets and showerheads for clogs. We then inspect your home's main water line and internal pipes for corrosion or leaks. Our repair services can descale pipes, replace sections, or install a new pressure regulator to restore strong, consistent water flow.

Yes, this is a common issue we see in Lombard.

Al's Plumbing can often resolve this in one visit by cleaning or replacing the showerhead and servicing or replacing the internal valve, restoring your shower's pressure without needing major pipe work.
