Local Plumbing Repair in Detroit, MI 48235 - Harris&family

Absolutely. A stuck or leaking shutoff valve is a very common issue in Detroit homes due to mineral buildup and age. Our technicians will assess the valve to see if a simple repair and cleaning will solve it. Often, replacing the old valve with a new, quarter-turn ball valve is the most reliable, long-term fix to prevent future leaks and ensure you can quickly shut off the water in an emergency. We handle this repair as part of our standard water pipe repair service.

Good question! First, ensure the disposal is turned off completely. Then, look for a small hex key (often provided with the unit) or use a 1/4 inch Allen wrench. Insert it into the hole on the bottom center of the disposal and gently turn it back and forth to manually free any jam. You can also use a broom handle (with the disposal OFF) to gently dislodge obstructions from above. If it's still stuck or making unusual noises, that's when to call us. Our garbage disposal installation and repair service can safely clear tough jams or recommend a replacement if needed.

A running toilet is usually a straightforward repair, often involving the flapper, fill valve, or flush valve seal—all parts of our standard toilet repair service. We can fix this quickly to stop wasting water and money. However, if your toilet is over 20-25 years old, has cracks, or requires frequent repairs, a new, water-efficient toilet installation might be a smarter long-term investment. During our plumbing inspection, we can advise you on the most cost-effective solution for your Detroit home.
