Al's Plumbing & Rooter Service | Plumbing Services in Meridian, ID 83646

Absolutely. A professional plumbing inspection from Al's includes checking for exposed pipes in unheated areas like crawl spaces and attics, which are common in Meridian homes. We'll identify vulnerable spots and recommend insulation or other preventive measures before winter hits, helping you avoid costly bursts and water damage.

First, turn off the power. Never use your hands. You can try using an Allen wrench in the hex hole on the bottom of the unit to manually turn the blades and dislodge the jam. If it's still stuck or making a humming noise, it's time to call us. Forcing it can burn out the motor. Al's can safely clear the jam, inspect for damage, and get your disposal running smoothly again.

We recommend a comprehensive plumbing inspection at least once every two years for general maintenance. However, if your home is older, you're noticing slow drains, or you want to prepare for seasonal changes—like winterizing to prevent frozen pipes—an annual inspection is a wise investment. It's a small step that can identify leaks, corrosion, or wear and tear early, saving you from major repairs.
