Garbage Disposal Repair
While seeming simple at first glance, garbage disposals can be complex. Our experienced team has the skills and tools to provide efficient system repairs for issues such as:
- – Not Spinning: If your system makes humming sounds but doesn’t spin, it’s a sign of a jam, typically caused by food scraps or other dropped items. Whatever caused the jam, our team has the tools to quickly and safely eliminate it.

- – Slow Drainage: A slow drain can be linked to a more substantial buildup inside your disposal system, typically consisting of food or grease. Using our tools, our technicians diagnose the blockage and swiftly clean out your system’s drainage.
- – Leaks: Garbage disposal leaks are a red flag that your system has been damaged or that its components, such as the gaskets, have worn down. We quickly address these problem areas before any further water damage spreads.
- – Strange Noises: Garbage disposals make noise, but they shouldn’t make strange grinding or clanking sounds. These sounds can come from worn-down or loose parts, such as the disposal blades, which our team will diagnose and provide a recommended repair.
- – Burning Odors: A burning smell emitting from your system indicates an electrical issue or overheating. These issues pose a fire risk to your home, which is why our team works quickly to ensure your system is repaired and you remain safe.

How to Prevent Costly Garbage Disposal Repairs
We understand the stress that comes with dealing with a broken garbage disposal, especially when you have to pay for a costly repair. Luckily, you can prevent issues by following these preventative measures:
- – Use pliers or other suitable tools to retrieve fallen items or clear clogs, if possible.
- – Routinely clean out the disposal by pouring vinegar or baking soda down the drain pipe.
- – Turn on cold water when the disposal is on to clear out lingering drain debris.
- – Avoid putting certain foods down the drain, including vegetable peels, nuts with shells, fruit pits, and coffee grounds. These foods can damage the blades or cause a blockage in the disposal.

Garbage Disposal Repair & Service FAQs:
Who do I call to fix my garbage disposal?
The best person to call for garbage disposal repair service is an experienced, certified plumber. Expert plumbers utilize their years of expertise and the proper tools to handle both common and specific repairs.
Is it worth repairing a garbage disposal?
Absolutely. Garbage disposals that lack significant damage or are less than seven years old typically require minor repairs, such as clogs, and can be addressed relatively inexpensively and quickly. In cases of severe issues, such as electrical problems or frequent leaks, constant repairs will ultimately cost more than replacing the unit outright.
How long do garbage disposals last?
Modern garbage disposals can last you between 8 and 15 years on average. The lifespan can be heavily affected by certain factors, such as routine maintenance, the amount of usage, and ensuring that certain foods are not disposed of down the drain, like grease.
Are all garbage disposals the same size?
No, not all garbage disposals are the same size. Disposal measurements can differ in height, weight, and depth. An average household garbage disposal is designed to hold around 20 to 30 ounces of food easily, while bigger, high-end models can easily hold up to 40 ounces.
