Northwest Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning | Plumbing Services in Fort Worth, TX 76179

Jams are often caused by food debris like fibrous vegetables or grease. First, always turn off the power. You can try using an Allen wrench in the hole on the bottom of the unit to manually turn the blades and dislodge the obstruction. For persistent jams or if you're unsure, it's best to call a professional. At Northwest Plumbing, we can safely clear the jam, check for damage, and offer advice on proper use to prevent future issues, ensuring your disposal runs smoothly.

Our comprehensive plumbing inspection is designed to give Fort Worth homeowners peace of mind. We systematically check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect visible pipes for corrosion, ensure drains are clear and flowing correctly, and examine fixtures like toilets and water heaters for proper operation. This proactive service helps identify small issues—like a worn toilet seal—before they become major, costly repairs, protecting your home from water damage.

The decision depends on the age of your system, repair frequency, and efficiency. If your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or causes unexpectedly high energy bills, a replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Our technicians provide honest, detailed assessments. We'll explain the condition of your current system, compare repair costs to the benefits of a new, more efficient model, and help you make the best choice for your Fort Worth home and budget.
