About Murati Plumbing in Staten Island, NY

First, turn off the disposal and the circuit breaker for safety. Never put your hand inside. You can often use an Allen wrench (usually provided with the unit) to manually turn the motor from the bottom to dislodge the jam. If that doesn't work, or if it's a frequent problem, it may be a sign of a worn motor or a more serious blockage. Murati Plumbing can safely clear the jam, repair the unit, or recommend a more powerful disposal suitable for your Staten Island household's needs.

Absolutely. Older or improperly installed drains are a major contributor to sewer line issues. During a new drain or water pipe installation, our team assesses your entire system's slope and condition. We can replace corroded pipes with modern materials that resist root intrusion and blockages, a key preventive step against the backups common in our area. We also ensure proper venting and flow to give wastewater a clear path away from your home.

Regular inspections by a local expert like Murati Plumbing can identify small problems before they become major emergencies like a burst pipe or severe backup. We check for slow drains, minor leaks, water pressure issues, and signs of corrosion in your water heater or pipes—common culprits for bigger failures. For Staten Island residents, this proactive check is especially valuable to catch early warnings of sewer line issues or disposal problems, saving you from costly, disruptive repairs down the line.
