About DES Maintenance & Makeready in Chattanooga, TN

In our area, pipe joint leaks are often caused by temperature fluctuations and mineral buildup from the water, which can wear down seals and connections. At DES Maintenance, we start with a thorough plumbing inspection to locate the exact source. For a lasting repair, we typically replace the faulty joint or coupling and may recommend installing a water softener if hard water is the underlying issue, helping to prevent future leaks and protect your plumbing system.

A humming disposal usually indicates a jam, which is a very common issue we see. We always try to repair it first. Our technicians are skilled at safely clearing jams caused by food scraps or foreign objects and can often reset the internal overload protector. If the motor is burned out or the unit is old and frequently failing, we'll advise if a new garbage disposal installation is more cost-effective. We carry reliable models and can handle the full replacement quickly, including updating the electrical connection if needed.

Absolutely. As a full-service maintenance company, handling combined plumbing and electrical issues is a specialty. We can diagnose and repair the leaky pipe joint or drain connection and simultaneously troubleshoot the non-working outlet, which could be a simple repair or a circuit breaker issue. This saves you time and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. Our licensed technicians are trained to work safely on both systems, providing a complete solution for your Chattanooga home.
