Garbage Disposal Repair in Fulton, MD
Attached or detached, a single-family kitchen in Fulton drains through one branch line of its own. 90% of the housing here is single-family, which ordinarily puts both the machine and the blockage in the occupant's hands.
The quick answer
In Fulton, 90% of housing units are single-family, some of them attached. Either way the branch drain under the sink serves one kitchen, which usually makes both the machine and the blockage the household's own.

Drawn from table B25024 of the American Community Survey, 5-year estimates, 2023 release: 2,031 housing units across the ZIP code areas covering Fulton.
That is 6 points higher than Maryland as a whole, so the state pattern would mislead you about this town.
Counted over housing units including vacant ones — the correct universe for a question about building type, and a different one from a household count.
Whose disposal is it
Before anything else, settle whose machine it is. In an owned home it is yours; in a rental it is usually the landlord's, and calling a contractor yourself can leave you holding a bill you did not need to pay.
The symptom does most of the diagnosis here. A motor that hums without turning is the most common call and often the easiest thing to clear.
And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
