Werx Plumbing and Air - Phoenix's Reliable Plumbing Contractor

First, turn off the disposal and the circuit breaker for safety. Never put your hand down the drain. Often, a jammed object can be freed using the hex key that came with your unit. If that doesn't work, or if the humming persists, it's likely a motor issue. Werx Plumbing and Air can safely diagnose and repair your disposal or install a new, more powerful model suited for Phoenix households.

Recurring drain blockages are often a sign of a deeper problem in your main sewer line. In Phoenix, common culprits are intrusive tree roots seeking water, sediment buildup from hard water, or even shifting soil. Our drain repair specialists use camera inspections to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple clog or a cracked pipe—and provide a permanent fix to restore proper flow.

Signs you need repair include inconsistent water temperature, minor leaks from valves, or strange noises. However, if your water heater is over 10-12 years old, leaking from the tank itself, or unable to provide enough hot water for your household, a replacement is usually more cost-effective. Werx Plumbing and Air can assess your unit, considering Phoenix's hard water impact, and recommend the most efficient repair or installation option for your home.
