It depends on the age and condition. Frequent jams often indicate worn blades or a failing motor. We can perform a thorough inspection to assess if a repair, like clearing a jam or replacing internal components, will suffice. For older units or those with repeated issues, a professional installation of a new, more powerful disposal is often a more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution for Albany homes.

The best prevention is to avoid pouring grease down the drain. Instead, let it cool and dispose of it in the trash. For existing slow drains, we recommend professional drain cleaning to remove built-up grease before it causes a complete blockage. Summit Plumbing can also install and maintain garbage disposals correctly to handle food waste without contributing to clogs, and we offer periodic plumbing inspections to catch potential issues early.
