Signs You Need a Garbage Disposal Repair
Do not risk injuring yourself trying to fix a jammed disposal. If you notice any of these common issues, reach out to us during regular business hours:
- Humming but not spinning: If you flip the switch and hear a low hum but the blades do not move, the unit is jammed or the motor is failing.
- Leaking under the sink: Puddles of water inside your kitchen cabinet usually indicate a cracked internal casing or a failed seal around the sink flange.
- Frequent resets: If you constantly have to push the red reset button on the bottom of the unit, the electrical components are wearing out.
- Foul odors: A persistent smell that will not go away could mean food particles are trapped inside a failing grinding chamber.
Repair vs. Replacement
Many disposal issues are simple, affordable fixes. If a piece of silverware or a hard bone has jammed the impeller, our technician can safely extract it, reset the unit, and get it working again in no time.
However, if the motor has burned out or the plastic casing has cracked and started leaking water, a replacement is the only safe option. Garbage disposals typically last around 10 years before the internal blades dull and the motor weakens.
Heavy Duty Replacements
If you need a new unit, we do not install cheap, builder grade models. We install heavy duty, high-horsepower garbage disposals designed to handle tough food scraps without constantly jamming.
We handle the complete installation, ensuring the plumbing connections to your sink and dishwasher are perfectly sealed to prevent future leaks. Contact us today for a free estimate, and we will quote the exact cost of the replacement before we begin any work.
"A kitchen sink that will not drain is incredibly frustrating. We carry high quality replacement disposals on our trucks so we can solve the problem in a single visit and let you get back to your day."
