Huntsville Garbage Disposal Repair: Solutions to Common Problems
Sometimes, the wrong foods can find their way down the garbage disposal. This can result in damage to the unit and cause common problems, including:
Jamming
Too much tough waste, such as eggshells, bones, or other hard waste can cause jamming. Metals and other hard items should be kept out from the disposal at all costs. A jam may clear itself if you continue running water in the disposal, but you may also damage the motor.
Failure to Turn On
A system that fails to turn on despite a working battery and connection likely needs to be inspected by a professional. Our techs can diagnose why your garbage disposal isn’t working.
Leaking
Leaking is another common problem that can occur, but this is often caused by unscrewed parts or gaskets around the unit. A hole in the housing may also cause the disposal to leak. While a jam may clear itself, leaks commonly need the help of one of our professionals.
If you notice any of these problems with your system, call Kimberly Plumbing Services to have our experts inspect the issue.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Garbage Disposal?
When your garbage disposal fails, it can be difficult to determine if you should fix the unit or if it needs to be replaced. Our Kimberly garbage disposal installation and repair expert plumbers can fix almost any issue with your unit. However, a faulty unit may repeatedly jam, leak, or make excessive noise, and constant repairs may be less economical than purchasing a new unit. Aging units, or units that have been misused, can develop problems that are even unrepairable. If you have a faulty disposal unit, ask us for advice on which option is the most cost-effective.

Called and they were here within 1 1/2 hr and replaced my leaking garbage disposal super fast. Reasonable cost and very helpful staff. Would recommend.
Very pleased with the fast response to come assess a busted water main into our building. They even tried to arrange an earlier repair. Fast repair and stayed within the estimate. Cody and Seaton did a great job and were easy to work with. Will certainly use again. Thanks.
We came back from vacation to find that we had overpressure throughout the house, two of the three bathroom toilets began to leak. Googled to troubleshoot the issue and everything pointed to the pressure valve.
