Why Richmond 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.

Local drain conditions decide whether a reset is the end of it. Piedmont clay movement shifts laterals; ice storms freeze crawlspace lines. Recurring clogs need a camera, not chemicals. Common dispatch ZIPs in Richmond include 23220, 23221, 23223, 23225. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
