Garbage Disposal Repair Services

While garbage disposals are relatively simple, they can encounter a variety of issues. Our experienced technicians can handle any problem. If your disposal isn’t working properly, our team is ready to diagnose and repair it quickly. Common issues we resolve include:

1. Garbage Disposal Jamming

Disposals can jam due to various reasons, such as stuck food or objects. If your disposal is making strange noises or isn’t working, a jam could be the cause.

2. Unpleasant Odors

Foul smells from the disposal often indicate food waste buildup inside the unit. Regular cleaning can help reduce odors.

A leaking disposal may be caused by cracks or damaged seals. Leaks may require parts replacement or a full disposal unit replacement.

Drain clogs can occur when debris gets trapped in the pipes connected to the disposal. Our technicians are skilled at clearing clogs efficiently.

Damaged wiring or worn components may cause the disposal to stop working. Electrical issues should always be handled by professionals to avoid injury or further damage.

Preventive Tips for Garbage Disposal Maintenance
