Reliable Plumbing Repair in Parsippany, NJ 07054 - R & S Plumbing & Heating Supplies

In Parsippany, we frequently see jams caused by putting fibrous foods like celery peels, coffee grounds, or starchy items like potato peels down the disposal. To prevent jams, always run cold water before, during, and after grinding, and avoid pouring grease down the drain. For stubborn jams, we carry specialized jam-buster wrenches and can advise on the right tools for a safe DIY fix.

A small joint leak can often be a DIY repair with the right sealant or replacement washer, which we stock. However, a professional plumbing inspection we can arrange is wise to determine if it's a symptom of a larger issue, like corroded pipes or high water pressure, which are common in older Parsippany neighborhoods. An inspection ensures the fix is complete and prevents future water damage.

We recommend every Parsippany homeowner have a basic toolkit including pipe wrenches, plumber's tape (Teflon tape) for thread leaks, a quality plunger, and a hand auger for drain clogs. For garbage disposals, keeping a hex-key wrench (often provided with the unit) handy is crucial for manually clearing jams. Stop by our store, and we'll help you build a tailored kit for your home.
