Frequently Asked Questions

My garbage disposal is jammed and leaking from the bottom. Can you repair it, or is a full replacement needed?

We can often repair a jammed or leaking disposal, especially if the issue is with the seals or a simple clog. Our technicians will first safely clear the jam and inspect the unit. If the motor is damaged or the housing is cracked—common from wear and tear—we'll advise on a replacement. We carry quality models and handle the full installation, including proper connection to your drain line to prevent future leaks, a common fix we perform for Chalmette homes.

I have a slow drip under my sink that keeps coming back. How does a plumbing inspection help find the real problem?

A persistent drip often points to a failing pipe joint or worn seal. Our thorough plumbing inspections go beyond the obvious leak. We check water pressure, examine pipe conditions for corrosion (common in our area), and test all connections. This helps us identify if the issue is an isolated fitting or a sign of wider pipe fatigue. By finding the root cause, we can make a precise repair—whether it's re-sealing a joint or replacing a section of pipe—to stop the drip for good, saving you water and preventing potential water damage.

My water heater is old and my hot water takes forever. Would a recirculation pump or a new water heater installation be better?

It depends on your system's condition. For an aging water heater that's also inefficient or showing signs of failure, a new, energy-efficient water heater installation is often the best long-term solution for Chalmette households. If your heater is in good shape but the pipes are long, adding a hot water recirculation pump provides instant hot water and reduces waste. We'll assess your current heater, pipe layout, and your family's usage to recommend the most cost-effective option, whether it's repair, a new pump installation, or a full water heater replacement.
