Fraser Plumbing - Stamford's Qualified Plumbing Service

First, always turn off the power at the breaker for safety. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage the unit. For a simple jam, you can try using the provided Allen wrench at the bottom of the disposal to manually turn the impellers and dislodge the obstruction. However, if the disposal hums but doesn't run or the jam is persistent, it's best to call a professional. At Fraser Plumbing, we've seen many local homes with this issue. With over 40 years of experience, we can safely diagnose and repair or replace the disposal to prevent damage to your sink and pipes, getting your kitchen back in order quickly.

A professional plumbing inspection is a proactive measure to identify potential problems before they become emergencies, which is especially valuable for older homes in our area. Our inspection, informed by decades of experience, includes checking for leaks at fixtures and supply lines (like common laundry hose connections), assessing water pressure, testing drains for proper flow, inspecting visible pipes for corrosion, and evaluating the water heater and sump pump. We look for signs of wear that are specific to the materials and installation methods common in local homes. This thorough check provides a clear picture of your system's health and helps prioritize any needed repairs or upgrades.

Absolutely. Our comprehensive training and licensing allow us to manage complex projects that involve multiple systems. For a job involving both gas lines and water heaters, we first ensure the gas line is safely repaired or upgraded to current codes, which is critical for safety and appliance performance. Then, we proceed with the water heater installation, ensuring proper venting, water connections, and pressure relief. Handling both aspects with one trusted team, like Fraser Plumbing, ensures seamless coordination, consistent workmanship, and accountability. It's a more efficient and reliable approach than hiring separate specialists, and it leverages our full range of expertise developed over four decades in the trade.
