First, turn off the disposal and the circuit breaker for safety. Never use your hand. For a simple jam, you can often use an Allen wrench in the slot on the bottom of the unit to manually turn the blades. If it still hums or won't reset, the motor or internal components may be damaged—a frequent repair we handle. Call us for a safe diagnosis and repair to avoid further damage to your disposal or pipes.

Absolutely. A slow drain connected to a disposal is often caused by a partial clog in the p-trap or drain line, which can stem from disposal jams. Our Winthrop plumbers will first safely clear any obstruction in the disposal, then use professional snaking or hydro-jetting to clear the drain line, restoring proper flow and preventing backups.
