First, turn off the disposal and unplug it for safety. Never put your hand inside. For minor jams, you can try using an Allen wrench in the hex socket at the bottom of the disposal to manually turn the blades and dislodge debris. If that doesn't work, or if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself, call Atlantic Plumbing Company. Our technicians are experienced with the specific types of food waste and disposal systems common in St. Simons Island homes, and we can quickly clear the jam or repair the unit if needed.

Avoid pouring cooking grease, oils, or fats down the drain, as they solidify and cause stubborn clogs. Instead, let grease cool and dispose of it in the trash. Use sink strainers to catch food particles, and run hot water for a minute after washing dishes to help flush any residual grease. For existing clogs or preventive maintenance, Atlantic Plumbing Company offers drain cleaning and repair services. We can inspect your kitchen pipes, clear blockages, and advise on best practices to keep your plumbing flowing smoothly in our coastal environment.
