Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair or Installation Services

Garbage disposals are noisy components that break down food when it falls into your kitchen drain. This prevents clogs and makes kitchen tasks more convenient. When it stops working correctly, you’ll probably notice one of the following symptoms:

  • Dirty water either doesn’t drain or drains too slowly.
  • The garbage disposal doesn’t power on when you flip the appropriate switch.
  • The disposal doesn’t completely break down food.
  • You detect unpleasant odors constantly wafting from your sink drain.
  • Water leaks around your sink.

When your disposal shows signs of disrepair, you need prompt, professional service to prevent further damage.

What Causes Problems with Your Garbage Disposal?

Although garbage disposals can handle constant use, they can malfunction for surprising reasons. We frequently encounter the following reasons for disrepair:

  •  Operators use warm or hot water to rinse debris down the sink. Warm water liquifies oil and grease, which prevents the disposal from breaking down the particles. 
  •  Homeowners don’t use the disposal daily, which causes corrosion. 
  •  The garbage disposal has worn or damaged parts that need replacement. 
  •  The user rinsed fibrous substances down the drain, which became entangled in the disposal. Once our technicians diagnose the problem, we can begin garbage disposal repair services.

Prevention

How to Prevent Garbage Disposal Issues

Like many savvy homeowners, you want to know how you get the most out of your garbage disposal. You can prolong the life of your disposal and prevent common problems by:

  • Using only cold water to rinse the sink: Cold water solidifies fat, and your disposal can more easily break down solid fats. 
  • Using your disposal every day: Irregular use leads to rust which prevents its components from working. 
  • Throwing large quantities of food in the trash: The garbage disposal eliminates small portions of food, not large amounts.
