Why Charleston homeowners call for garbage disposal repair
A seized disposal is often a jam, a failed bearing, or a leak at the sink flange. Do not stick a hand in the chamber.
Disposal work usually becomes drain work, so the pipe behind it matters. Raised single houses and cottages with cast iron and galvanized on the peninsula; slab ranches in West Ashley. Nearby towns: Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, James Island.
Local drain conditions decide whether a reset is the end of it. High water table and storm surge load laterals; humidity shortens tanks in sealed closets. Common dispatch ZIPs in Charleston include 29401, 29403, 29407, 29412. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
