Doing a garbage disposal repair San Francisco is not the hardest thing in the world to do, but sometimes they just can't be fixed and need to be replaced. Here are a few tips that can save you money and help you determine if you need a new garbage disposal and if you need to call a good San Francisco plumber.

If the unit does not even come on, then you sometimes need to push the reset button on the bottom of the unit. This button is usually red and only needs to be pressed lightly. This is the first step to determining what is wrong with the unit.

After you have push the button, try turning on the switch; if it does not come on but you here a humming then turn it off because the blades are jammed. If it does not come on then you will probably need to call a professional plumber.

To free up the blades you will usually need a ¼ inch allen wrench or a garbage disposal key. In the center of the bottom of the unit there should be a hole for the wrench. Once the wrench is in place turn it around a few times in both directions. It might be stuck at first and may need a bit of force. After turning it around a few times press the reset switch again and try the unit, if it works then you should be fine. If it still does not work then you will most likely have to call someone.

When looking for a plumber in San Francisco try doing a bit of research online and look for someone that is trusted by other professionals in the city. If a San Francisco plumber does a lot of work for the city or other professionals, they will most likely do a good job for you too.
