About Kearns Plumbing in High Point, NC

Absolutely. Low water pressure in High Point homes is often caused by pipe corrosion, mineral buildup from hard water, or hidden leaks. Our comprehensive plumbing inspection methodically checks your entire system—from the main shut-off valve and pressure regulator to individual fixtures and supply lines. We pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a single clogged aerator or a broader issue with your pipes, so we can recommend the most effective and lasting repair.

First, ensure the disposal is turned OFF at the wall switch. Never put your hand inside. Locate the small hex key (often provided with the unit) or use an Allen wrench, insert it into the bottom center of the disposal, and turn it back and forth to manually free the impellers. You can also try using a broom handle to gently rotate the blades from above. If it remains stuck or makes unusual noises, it's time to call us. Forcing it can damage the motor. A professional inspection can clear the jam safely and check for underlying issues like worn components or improper installation.

Think of a plumbing inspection like a regular check-up for your home's vital systems. For High Point residents, common issues like slow drains or intermittent low pressure can be early warnings. Our inspection catches small leaks before they cause water damage, identifies pipe corrosion or scaling that restricts flow, and ensures connections at appliances like your garbage disposal are secure. This proactive approach saves you from the inconvenience and high cost of emergency repairs, protects your property, and helps your plumbing operate at peak efficiency year-round.
