Garbage Disposal Repair
From time to time, your garbage disposal may malfunction. When it does, it’s important to act swiftly to repair the issue. One of the most common malfunctions homeowners experience is jamming. This can happen when items like utensils, fibrous foods, fruit rinds, and even bones get caught in the garbage disposal blades. You can try to remove the obstruction on your own by completely shutting off your garbage disposal. Use tongs or similar tools to try to remove the obstruction.
Never stick your hand down the garbage disposal, as it can shift unexpectedly and cause harm. If you can’t remove the obstruction on your own, call our professionals for assistance. We have specialized tools that we use to remove these obstructions safely and effectively.
Another potential issue you may experience is that there’s an issue with your garbage disposal’s reset button. This can happen when there’s an overload of the garbage disposal. It’s a safety mechanism to protect its internal components from overheating. You can push the reset button back in to see if it will restore functionality to your unit. If it doesn’t, it’s best to have one of our plumbing professionals further evaluate the electronics of your unit.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
Most garbage disposals have a usable lifespan of eight to 12 years with proper care and upkeep. As your unit gets older, it will experience a decrease in power, clog more often, and require more frequent repairs. Many times, we recommend replacing your broken garbage disposal instead of repairing it if it’s near the end of its lifespan.
Our team can assess your kitchen and determine the appropriate-sized garbage disposal to meet your needs. We’ll perform a professional installation to ensure the warranty coverage remains intact on your new unit and it works well. We’ll even do a quality assurance check to ensure everything is working as it should before we leave.
