Wm.T. Spaeder: Expert Plumbing Repair Serving Erie, PA 16510

Erie's winters are tough on plumbing. To prevent frozen and burst outdoor faucets, we recommend disconnecting and draining garden hoses before the first hard freeze and installing frost-proof hose bibs, which are designed for our climate. For existing standard faucets, using an insulated cover is a good temporary measure. Our technicians can perform a pre-winter inspection to identify vulnerable points, install frost-proof fixtures, and ensure proper interior shut-off valves are in place to protect your pipes from costly damage.

Yes, absolutely. With projects completed in local healthcare, education, and food service sectors, we have extensive experience managing complex commercial HVAC installations and replacements. Our team, led by President Jay Spaeder who has 19 years of industrial project management experience, follows best practices to ensure systems are designed for efficiency, reliability, and compliance with all codes. We handle everything from initial consultation and system design to precise installation and ongoing maintenance, minimizing disruption to your business operations.

First, ensure the unit is powered off completely. Never put your hand inside. You can often use a dedicated hex key (usually provided with the disposal) to manually turn the motor from the bottom to free a minor jam. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage components. If the disposal hums but doesn't turn, it's likely jammed; if it's completely silent, it may have overheated—press the reset button on the bottom. For persistent jams, strange noises, or leaks, our licensed plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue, safely clear obstructions, or perform the necessary repair or replacement to get your kitchen back in order.
