About Anderson's Pinnacle Plumbing in Erie, PA

Our Erie-specific plumbing inspection includes checking for poor insulation in vulnerable areas like crawl spaces and exterior walls, assessing the condition of pipes, and testing shut-off valves. We identify risks before winter hits and provide practical recommendations, such as adding insulation or installing heat tape, to proactively protect your home from the freezing temperatures common in our region.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. You can then try using a hex key (often provided with the unit) to manually rotate the motor from the bottom to free a minor jam. Avoid putting your hand down the drain. For persistent jams or strange noises, it's best to call us. We safely clear obstructions and can advise on proper Erie-friendly disposal habits to prevent future problems.

As your local Erie plumber, we recommend homeowners regularly check for signs of slow drips under sinks, test the water pressure, and ensure exterior hose bibs are completely shut off and drained before freezing weather. However, many issues, like hidden pipe corrosion or inadequate insulation, require a professional eye. Our comprehensive inspection catches these hidden risks, giving you peace of mind before the deep freeze sets in.
