About Caton's Plumbing Heating & AC in Halethorpe, MD

Absolutely. During a professional plumbing inspection, our technicians assess your entire drainage system, including the pipes most susceptible to grease buildup from cooking. We can identify early signs of restriction, recommend preventative cleaning, and advise on best practices to avoid future clogs, protecting your Halethorpe home from slow drains and backups.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never use your hand to clear a jam. You can try using an Allen wrench in the reset hole on the bottom of the unit to manually turn the blades and dislodge the object. If it doesn't free easily, call us. Forcing it can damage the motor. Our Halethorpe technicians safely clear jams and inspect the unit to ensure it's operating correctly.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year for most homes. Given our local water conditions and common issues like grease clogs, an annual check by Caton's can catch small problems early. It's also wise to schedule an inspection before buying a home or if you notice changes like gurgling drains or slower drainage, common signs of developing blockages.
