Yes, hard water minerals and certain food wastes frequently cause jams in local disposals. We can safely clear the jam, inspect the unit for damage, and provide tips on what to avoid putting down the drain to prevent future problems. Often, a simple repair or cleaning restores full function, saving you the cost of a full replacement.
