Plumbing Contractor West Haven CT | Call Batts Plumbing

We can often repair a jammed disposal by safely clearing the obstruction and resetting the unit. However, if the motor is burned out from frequent jams—common with improper use—a replacement might be more cost-effective. We'll diagnose the issue on-site and recommend the best solution for your West Haven home, whether it's a quick repair or installing a new, more powerful model to handle your household's needs.

The best prevention is to avoid pouring grease down the drain. For existing slow drains, we recommend professional drain cleaning to remove built-up grease before it causes a complete blockage. We can also inspect your pipes and discuss potential upgrades, like installing a new, more efficient drain system or a garbage disposal suited for your household, to help manage grease and food waste effectively.

It's often most efficient to address both issues in one visit. A slow drain could be related to a problem with the disposal's drainage line. Our technician can perform a plumbing inspection to identify the root cause of both problems. We might clear the drain line, repair or replace the disposal, and ensure the entire system is working properly together, saving you time and potential future call-backs.
