Qualified Plumbing Service in Evanston, WY 82930 - Chip's Plumbing

First, ensure the disposal is turned off and unplugged. Never use your hands. You can try using an Allen wrench in the hex hole on the bottom of the unit to manually turn the motor and free the jam. For persistent jams or if you're unsure, it's best to call a professional. At Chip's Plumbing, we're experienced with the common hard water and food waste issues in Evanston that cause these jams and can safely clear or repair your disposal to prevent future problems.

We recommend a professional sewer inspection every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance, especially for older homes in the Evanston area. Regular inspections can identify root intrusion, cracks, or blockages before they become major backups. If you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds, or frequent clogs, schedule an inspection sooner. Chip's Plumbing provides thorough sewer camera inspections to give you a clear view of your line's condition and recommend the right repair or cleaning.

Rumbling or popping noises and reduced hot water are often caused by sediment buildup in the tank, a common issue in Evanston due to our water hardness. This sediment reduces efficiency and can damage the heater. We recommend an annual flush to maintain performance and longevity. The team at Chip's Plumbing can perform a thorough flush, inspect the anode rod and heating elements, and advise if a repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your home.
