Clogged Garbage Disposal?
Garbage disposals clogs can form for a number of reasons. Often, it is from putting items down the drain that should not be disposed of in this way. It may also have to do with a lack of water or due to how the ground up food reacts when it comes in contact with moisture. What can you do about a clogged garbage disposal?
Manually Rotate Blades to Break Up Clog
If the clog is under the sink, you can try manually rotating the blades to break up the blockage. You will need an Allen wrench to do this. The manual operator is usually accessible along the base of the unit, on the outside. Look under your sink, find the manual operator, and turn with the Allen wrench. Your owner’s manual will have more information on how to safely turn the blades.
Unclog Garbage Disposal with Pliers
You should not pour chemicals down a garbage disposal, but you can use tools to clear a clog. To do this, shut off the power to the unit as a safety precaution. Next, reach into the drain with pliers and remove loose materials so you can inspect the blockage. Continue removing objects until clear. Never insert hands into the garbage disposal.
Clear Sludge and Debris from P-Trap
Excessive buildup in the P-trap can cause blockages in your garbage disposal. If this is the problem, find a bucket to catch debris in. Place it under the P-trap then unscrew the pipe. You may need to wiggle it to remove it from the trap arm and waste tee. Pull out debris and rinse the trap then replace.
If you prefer to hire a professional or none of these methods work, call Putman & Son’s Plumbing certified plumbers now to schedule an appointment for a garbage disposal repair or installation in Southeast Michigan.

We have a variety of methods and tools at our disposal to diagnose plumbing issues.
Are you in the process of buying or renovating a home? Plumbing diagnostics can be useful for identifying any potential problems, sometimes before you have visible signs or they even happen.

In the area of plumbing, it is especially important to choose the best residential plumber from the beginning, providing you with the highest quality work, the very first time. The following three elements must be considered in your search for a plumber to guarantee your satisfaction.
- Experience
The most important factor in a plumber’s ability to handle a variety of tasks is their experience in the field. A seasoned plumber has the expertise to troubleshoot problems quickly and rectify the situation in the most appropriate, cost effective manner.

One of the ways you can protect your home in Southeastern Michigan is by purchasing a plumbing maintenance plan with Putman & Son’s Plumbing, a family business. Plumbing repairs can be an incredibly expensive expenditure for homeowners over time. As your home’s systems age, their need for repair grows. Residential plumbing maintenance plans offer homeowners incredible value in protecting their home’s plumbing while extending the useful lifetime of the system. With regular maintenance you can rest assured knowing the exact condition of the more intricate of your home’s systems.
Many homeowners opt to address issues on a case by case basis, and while this approach works for them in the short term, long-term home ownership demands financial responsibility. By purchasing a plumbing maintenance plan, you protect your home as an investment and ensure long-term system usage. By keeping your plumbing systems well maintained you reduce the long term cost of plumbing maintenance. The second greatest benefit homeowners receive from any maintenance whether it be for their car, their home or any other belonging is the associated peace of mind.
