Top-Rated Plumbing Repair in Milford, MI 48380 - Fairbanks & Sons Plumbing

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection includes checking your garbage disposal unit for wear, blade sharpness, and potential blockages in the drain line. We can identify early signs of jams, like slow drainage or unusual noises, before they cause a complete clog or motor burnout. This proactive approach saves you from messy backups and costly emergency repairs down the line.

Shutoff valves, especially in older homes, can corrode or seize up over time. A broken valve can be a major problem during a plumbing emergency, as you won't be able to stop the water flow to a fixture. During our inspection, we test all main and fixture shutoff valves to ensure they operate correctly. If we find a broken or faulty valve, we can replace it, giving you peace of mind and control in case of a leak.

First, always turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand down the drain. For a simple jam, you can try using the included hex key to manually turn the motor from the bottom. If that doesn't work, or if you're uncomfortable, give us a call. Our Milford plumbers can safely clear the jam, check for damage to the blades or motor, and get your disposal working properly again, often during the same visit.
