About Poor Pappy's Plumbing in Wichita, KS

Absolutely. Garbage disposal jams are a common issue we see in Wichita homes, often caused by putting the wrong items down the drain like fibrous vegetables (celery, potato peels), grease, or small bones. As a master plumber, I can safely clear the jam, inspect the unit for damage, and provide advice on proper use to prevent future problems. If a repair isn't feasible, we can also handle a full replacement efficiently.

A comprehensive plumbing inspection from a licensed master plumber involves checking all visible pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drains for leaks, corrosion, and proper function. With my additional home inspector's license, I also assess for code compliance and potential future issues that could affect your home's value or safety. It's a proactive way to avoid costly emergencies, especially before buying a home or as part of regular maintenance.

Choosing a new water heater involves considering fuel type (gas or electric), size for your household, energy efficiency, and your budget. As a gas-certified master plumber, I can evaluate your current setup, discuss the pros and cons of tank vs. tankless models, and ensure the installation meets all Wichita codes for safety and performance. We handle the entire process from removal of the old unit to final testing.
