Not everything in life is an emergency. Thank goodness for that, right?
In fact, all kinds of things can wait indefinitely, depending on how Plumbing Repairs much patience you have. Checking out that new restaurant in town? Chances are it will still be there when you get around to it. Changing the drapes in your living room? It’s not like the current set is hanging there by threads. Purging the toys your kids no longer play with to make room for new arrivals? That’s important, too, but does it really need to get done today?

If the disposal is clear, then something is wrong with the unit itself or the blades…a problem that’s not going to fix itself.
- Problem flushing your toilet. Typically, a weak flush indicates worn out parts or incorrect water settings. It’s the kind of problem that gets steadily worse.
