If your garbage disposal is clogged, jammed, or not draining, stop using it and avoid forcing the unit to run. Minor jams may be cleared safely, but persistent clogs or drainage issues usually require professional plumbing service.
Some disposal jams are simple, but forcing the unit or using the wrong tools can cause electrical or plumbing damage. If the disposal won’t reset, drains slowly, or causes water to back up into the sink or dishwasher, the problem is often deeper in the drain line.
Radiant’s plumbers diagnose disposal clogs by checking both the unit and the connected plumbing to ensure the issue is resolved completely—not just temporarily cleared
