Huntsville Garbage Disposal Repair: Solutions to Common Problems

Sometimes, the wrong foods can get stuck in the garbage disposal. This can lead to damage to the unit and cause common problems, including:

Jamming

Too much tough waste, such as eggshell fragments, bones, or other hard waste can cause jamming. Metal and other solid items should be kept out from the disposal at all costs. A jam may fix itself if you keep running water in the disposal, but you may also hurt the motor.

Failure to Turn On

A system that is unresponsive 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 loose screws or gaskets around the unit. A hole in the housing may also cause the disposal to leak. While a jam may resolve on its own, leaks usually require the help of one of our professionals.

If you notice any of these signs with your system, call Riverside Plumbing Services to have our experts inspect the issue.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Garbage Disposal?

When your garbage disposal malfunctions, it can be difficult to determine if you should repair the unit or if it needs to be replaced. Our Riverside garbage disposal installation and repair expert plumbers can repair virtually any problem with your unit. However, a faulty unit may constantly jam, leak, or make excessive noise, and constant repairs may be more expensive 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.

• To keep the blades sharp, grind ice in the unit once a week.
