Garbage Disposal Repair Services

While garbage disposals are relatively simple, they can encounter a variety of issues. Our experienced technicians can handle any problem. Whether it’s a jam, leaks, or electrical problems, we’re here to help. Common issues we resolve include:

1. Garbage Disposal Jamming

Food or foreign objects often cause jams in garbage disposals. If your disposal is making strange noises or isn’t working, a jam could be the cause.

2. Unpleasant Odors

Bad odors from your garbage disposal usually come from decomposing food trapped inside. To prevent odors, ensure you run the disposal regularly and clean it with a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.

3. Garbage Disposal Leaks

Leaks are a common sign of wear and tear on garbage disposals. Leaks may require parts replacement or a full disposal unit replacement.

4. Clogged Drain Lines

Sometimes, clogs form in the pipes due to leftover food or grease buildup. We’ll clear your drain lines to restore your disposal’s performance quickly.

5. Damaged Wiring or Worn Mechanisms

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

Garbage Disposal FAQs

Should I run water when using my garbage disposal?

Yes, running water helps move food waste through the disposal and pipes. Cold water is best for grinding, while hot water should be used when cleaning the disposal.

Why does my garbage disposal smell so bad?

Smelly disposals are usually a result of food residue that’s left behind. Keeping the disposal clean and running it frequently helps prevent bad smells.

What should never go down the garbage disposal?

Certain items should always be avoided in the disposal to prevent damage. These include:

• Fibrous fruits and vegetables such as celery.
• Bones, eggshells, and tough materials like wood.
• Cooking oils and grease.

Not putting these items down your disposal can prevent clogs and malfunctions.
