Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation Services

Is your garbage disposal acting up? While some issues can be resolved through repairs, certain problems indicate that it may be time for a replacement. If your garbage disposal is not too old, and there’s no damage to the blades or casing, a repair may be sufficient. However, here are some signs that signal it’s time for a new unit:

Frequent Clogs: If clogs happen regularly, your unit may be worn out or undersized.
Persistent Odors: Odors that linger despite cleaning efforts can mean it’s time for a new disposal.
Dull Blades: Worn blades reduce efficiency, making replacement more practical.
Unrepairable Leaks: If leaks persist even after repairs, a new unit may be necessary.
Kitchen Upgrades: A new sink or dishwasher is a great time to consider a disposal replacement.

Common Garbage Disposal Issues Requiring Professional Assistance

Never put your hand/s down into the garbage disposal hopper (grinding chamber).

Experiencing issues with your garbage disposal? Here are some common problems that often need expert attention:

Disposal Won’t Turn On: If the switch is on, but the garbage disposal doesn’t power up and there's no humming sound, this likely points to an electrical issue preventing the appliance from receiving power.
Humming Sound, But No Grinding: When the motor hums but the blades don’t turn, it often means the inner flywheel is jammed. This can trigger the reset button to pop or the circuit breaker to trip. Avoid running it like this for long, as it may burn out the motor if the safety mechanisms fail.
Jammed Blades: A foreign object or food particles lodged between the impellers and the shredder ring often causes the blades to jam, resulting in a humming sound without any grinding.

Leaking Disposal: Most leaks stem from these areas:

Sink Flange: The connection between the disposal and sink can loosen over time due to the vibrations, leading to leaks around the mounting apparatus.
Dishwasher Connection: The rubber hose connecting the dishwasher to the disposal may develop leaks.
Discharge Drainpipe: The pipe carrying wastewater to the drain can leak if its gasket ages or wears down.

Slow Draining Disposal: If your garbage disposal drains slowly, it’s often due to a clog, similar to what can slow any kitchen sink drain, typically from food buildup.
