Lehman Drain & Septic - Hartville's Qualified Plumbing Repair

First, turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker for safety. Avoid using chemical cleaners, as they can damage pipes and your septic system. For a simple jam, you can try using a disposal wrench or hex key to manually turn the impellers from underneath the sink. If the jam persists or you're uncomfortable, call us. Lehman Drain & Septic handles frequent garbage disposal jams and repairs for Hartville homes. We can safely clear the obstruction, repair the unit, or install a new one if needed, ensuring it's done correctly to prevent future issues.

For most households in our Stark, Portage, and Summit county service area, we recommend septic tank pumping every 3 to 5 years. However, the exact frequency depends on your tank size and the number of people in your home. As part of our family-owned service, we provide thorough inspections during pumping to assess your system's health and offer personalized maintenance advice. Regular pumping prevents backups and costly repairs, protecting your property and the local environment. We can help you establish a schedule that's right for your Hartville-area home.

Yes, we use drain camera inspection technology to accurately diagnose sewer and drain problems. This service is especially valuable for identifying the root cause of persistent clogs, locating pipe joint leaks common in our area, or assessing pipe condition before a major repair. The camera sends a live video feed, allowing us to see blockages, cracks, or root intrusions without unnecessary digging. This precise diagnosis means we can recommend the most effective and efficient solution, whether it's hydro jetting, a spot repair, or a full line replacement, saving you time and money.
