About Atlantic Plumbing & Heating Supplies in Coventry, RI

A professional plumbing inspection by Atlantic Plumbing & Heating Supplies proactively checks for weak spots, corrosion, and minor drips at pipe joints—a common issue in our area. We identify early warning signs of pressure problems or material fatigue, allowing you to repair a small issue before it becomes a major leak that damages your home's structure or foundation.

First, ensure the unit is powered off. Never use your hands. You can often use an Allen wrench (usually provided) to manually turn the motor from the bottom to dislodge the obstruction. For persistent jams or unusual noises, it's best to stop and call for a professional inspection. We can safely clear the jam, check for damage to the blades or motor, and advise on proper use to prevent future issues.

Absolutely. During an inspection, we examine the sink drain lines, connections, and the disposal unit itself for early signs of trouble, like slow drainage or minor leaks that can worsen a jam. We also check for proper installation and water flow, which are key to a disposal's longevity. Catching these issues early can prevent the sudden, messy jams Coventry homeowners often face.
