Matt Weiser Plumbing - Frazeysburg's Reliable Plumbing Contractor

Our thorough plumbing inspection identifies vulnerabilities that lead to frozen pipes, which are a common issue in our Ohio winters. We check for poor insulation around pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls, inspect outdoor faucets, and assess your home's overall readiness for cold snaps. By addressing these weak spots proactively—such as adding insulation or recommending a trickle strategy for vulnerable lines—we help you avoid the burst pipes and major water damage that can follow a freeze.

Absolutely. Garbage disposal jams are a frequent call we get from Frazeysburg homeowners. First, we always ensure the unit's power is completely off for safety. Then, we use specialized tools to manually free the impellers from the obstruction, whether it's a piece of silverware, a fruit pit, or built-up grease. We don't just clear the jam; we'll inspect the unit for damage, test its operation, and provide tips on what to avoid putting down the disposal to prevent future issues and extend its lifespan.

If you suspect a frozen pipe, the first step is to locate your main water shut-off valve and ensure you know how to use it in case the pipe bursts. Then, gently open the faucet supplied by the frozen line. You can attempt to thaw it slowly with a hairdryer or towels soaked in warm water, starting from the faucet end and working back. Do not use an open flame. For safety and to prevent damage, we recommend calling us at Matt Weiser Plumbing right away. Our team can assess the situation, safely thaw the pipe, and perform an inspection to check for any cracks or weaknesses that may have developed.
