Soft food waste like mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, and eggs can go down the drain – but avoid hard items like bones, eggshells, or coffee grounds, as they could cause the blades to wear out or jam. To ensure the smooth operation of your appliance, always run water while using the garbage disposal to help break up debris before flushing it through the drain.

It could mean one or both elements are not working in your electric water heater. The top element and lower element work together to heat the entire tank. If only one element is functioning, the whole tank won’t be heated – leaving you with lukewarm showers!

At Murray Plumbing, we employ the latest solutions using enzymes and friendly bacterial products that are safe for you and your family members (including pets!), as well as pipes, when it comes to cleaning blocked drains.

In the kitchen, be mindful of what you pour down the drain – not all items can effortlessly pass through! Bathroom sinks face a unique challenge from residue from soap and hair. Which, left unchecked over time, will result in clogs. To avoid this frustration, consider treating drains with a safe cleaner.

It is a common plumbing issue often caused by the flapper not sealing around the flush valve properly. Try jiggling the handle – that may do the trick! If not, you’ll need to have it replaced for a successful seal- Murray Plumbing can help with any of your bathroom needs.
