First, turn off the disposal and the power at the breaker for safety. Never use your hands. You can try using a hex key (often provided) to manually turn the motor from the bottom. If it's still stuck, it's best to call a professional like Scents of Charleston. We can safely clear the jam, repair damaged blades, or install a new unit if needed, preventing further damage to your sink and plumbing.

Common signs include multiple drains backing up simultaneously (especially in lower fixtures like basement showers), gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard or home, and unusually lush patches of grass in your yard. Sewer problems are common here and can worsen quickly. Scents of Charleston offers thorough sewer inspections using camera technology to pinpoint the exact issue—whether it's a clog, tree root intrusion, or pipe damage—and provides lasting repair solutions.

In our area, water heaters often fail due to sediment buildup from hard water, aging components, or internal corrosion. If your unit is over 10-12 years old, leaks, or consistently fails to provide enough hot water, replacement is usually more cost-effective. For newer models with minor issues like a faulty heating element or thermostat, repair is a smart option. Our technicians at Scents of Charleston can diagnose the problem, advise on the best solution for your home, and handle the installation or repair efficiently.
