Leon's Plumbing - Metairie's Top-Rated Plumbing Repair

A professional plumbing inspection from Leon's allows us to check your entire kitchen drain line for early signs of buildup or minor obstructions that often lead to full jams. We can assess your disposal's condition, blade sharpness, and motor health, recommending maintenance or repairs before a sudden failure leaves you without a working sink. It's a proactive step to avoid the inconvenience and potential water damage from a clogged disposal.

Yes, slow drainage in Metairie kitchens is very often caused by grease, oils, and food solids solidifying in the pipes. While store-bought chemicals can offer a temporary fix, they often damage pipes over time. The best solution is a professional plumbing inspection. We use specialized tools like drain snakes or hydro-jetting to safely and completely remove the grease clog, restoring proper flow and advising on habits (like using sink strainers) to prevent it from happening again.

First, immediately turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand down the drain. For Metairie homeowners, the humming often indicates an object is stuck between the impellers. You can try using the included hex key to manually turn the motor from the bottom to dislodge it. If that doesn't work, it's time to call Leon's. We'll safely inspect, clear the jam, and check for any damage to the unit to ensure it operates safely and efficiently.
