Bob's Plumbing & Heating | Trusted Plumbing Contractor in Manhattan, KS

Absolutely. Broken or corroded shutoff valves are a frequent problem in local homes, often due to age and mineral deposits in our water. Bob's team can quickly replace the faulty valve, restoring your ability to control the water supply and prevent further leaks or water damage. We carry the right parts to get your kitchen back in working order promptly.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand down the drain. You can often use a special hex key (usually provided with the unit) to manually rotate the impellers from the bottom to dislodge the jam. If that doesn't work or you're unsure, it's best to stop. Forcing it can cause more damage. Bob's handles garbage disposal repairs and replacements regularly, so we can diagnose and fix the issue safely, whether it's a simple jam or a motor problem.

We strongly advise against chemical drain cleaners. They can corrode your pipes over time, especially older plumbing common in our area, and are harmful to the environment. A professional plumbing inspection from Bob's is a smarter, long-term solution. We can use a camera to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple clog, tree root intrusion in the sewer line, or a broken pipe—and recommend the right repair, from a thorough cleaning to sewer line repair or replacement, saving you money and preventing major backups.
