Garbage Disposal, Toilet & Faucet Repair in Cincinnati, OH
A jammed garbage disposal can often be freed with the hex key in the bottom of the unit, and a humming disposal that won't spin is usually jammed rather than dead. Leaking or seized units, running toilets, dripping faucets and failing shower valves are quick, inexpensive repairs for a licensed plumber.

Garbage disposal repair or replacement?
Jams, tripped reset buttons and loose drain connections are easy repairs. Leaks from the body of the unit, a burned-out motor, or a disposal more than about 10 years old usually mean replacement is the better value. A plumber can also size the new unit correctly and connect the dishwasher drain properly.
Toilet repair and installation
Most running toilets need a new flapper or fill valve. A toilet that rocks or leaks at the base needs a new wax ring and possibly a flange repair, which is worth doing quickly before the subfloor rots. Older toilets can be replaced with efficient models that flush better while using far less water.
Faucet repair and replacement
Dripping faucets usually need a new cartridge or washer. If the faucet is old, corroded or parts aren't available, replacement is often similar in cost. Bring your own faucet or ask the plumber to supply one.
Shower valve replacement
A shower that swings hot and cold, drips, or is stiff to turn usually needs a new cartridge or a new pressure-balancing valve. Older single-handle valves without anti-scald protection are a common upgrade, and they're worth doing before you retile a bathroom.

How do I unjam a garbage disposal?
Turn off the power at the switch, insert the hex (Allen) key into the socket in the center bottom of the unit and work it back and forth, then press the red reset button. Never put your hand in the disposal.
What shouldn't go down a garbage disposal?
Grease and oil, fibrous foods like celery and corn husks, potato peels in bulk, coffee grounds, eggshells and bones. They cause most kitchen clogs.
Why does my toilet keep running?
Usually a worn flapper, a fill valve set too high, or a chain that's too short. All are cheap parts.
Can you install a fixture I bought myself?
Yes. Most contractors will install customer-supplied fixtures. Ask whether the labor warranty still applies.
