Common Questions About Kitchen Plumbing

A humming sound usually means the disposal's blades are jammed by something hard, like a bone, fruit pit, or silverware. For safety, you should never put your hand down the disposal. The jam needs to be professionally cleared. To prevent this, avoid putting hard, fibrous (celery, corn husks), or starchy (potato peels, rice) items down the unit.

The most common cause of low pressure in a single faucet is a clogged aerator—the small screen on the tip of the spout. Here in Burnet County, our hard water causes mineral scale to build up and clog these screens over time. You can try unscrewing the aerator and cleaning it, but if that doesn't solve the problem, the issue could be a more complex problem within the faucet's cartridge or supply lines.

It very often is a plumbing issue. If your dishwasher leaves a pool of dirty water at the bottom, the problem is usually not the appliance itself, but a clog in the drain hose that connects to your garbage disposal or sink drain. Food debris can easily create a blockage in this line, preventing the dishwasher from emptying. We can quickly clear this line and get your dishwasher draining properly again.

A dripping faucet is more than just an annoyance; it's a significant water waster. Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water per month, which is a major concern for both your water bill and our Hill Country resources. The cause is usually a worn-out internal part like a gasket or O-ring, which our technicians can quickly and easily replace.
