Plumbing Contractor Des Moines IA | Call Metro Rooter

First, turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker. Never put your hand inside. For a simple jam, you can try using an Allen wrench in the hex socket at the bottom of the unit to manually turn the motor and free the blades. If that doesn't work, or if you hear humming, the motor may be stalled. As a 24-hour service, Metro Rooter can promptly repair or replace your disposal to get your Des Moines kitchen back in working order, preventing further damage to your plumbing.

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once every two years for preventative maintenance. This is especially important for older homes in the Des Moines area. An inspection can identify small issues like minor leaks, corrosion, or slow drains before they become major emergencies or cause water damage. Our inspections include checking pipes, fixtures, water pressure, and often a sewer camera line check to assess the condition of your main line, giving you peace of mind about your home's plumbing health.

In many cases, yes. For sewer line repairs, we often use trenchless technology methods like pipe lining or pipe bursting. These techniques involve creating a new pipe within the old, damaged one or pulling a new pipe through, which minimizes disruption to your landscaping, driveway, or sidewalk. After a sewer camera inspection to diagnose the exact problem and location, we can determine if a trenchless repair is a suitable, long-lasting solution for your Des Moines home, saving you time and preserving your property.
