Garbage Disposal Repair in Denver, NC

Does Your Garbage Disposal Need Repairs?

Most garbage disposal repairs come down to four basic problems: jams, clogs, leaks, or lack of power. The culprit could be foods that your disposal can’t handle, electrical problems, worn-out plumbing connections, or a broken motor. Here are some signs that you need to call for garbage disposal repairs:

• There’s water under the sink: You’ve got a leak! Call as soon as you can to prevent water damage and mold.
• There’s a humming sound: Your disposal is most likely jammed. Don’t try running it anymore to protect the motor. Instead, wait for us to diagnose the problem.
• Water isn’t draining: If there’s water in your sink and your dishwasher won’t drain, it’s most likely a clog. Try running your disposal. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need a plumber.
• There are loud sounds: Garbage disposals can get off-kilter or parts can come loose. When they do, you might get loud rattling sounds or a vibration that shakes the whole kitchen.

How to Keep the Plumber Away 

Garbage disposals can be prone to breakdowns because not everyone knows what their disposal can handle. We don’t expect you to memorize a list of garbage disposals, their horsepower, and what they can grind. We can point you in the right direction for YOUR disposal.

With most garbage disposals, you’re safe to put down small pieces of meat, vegetables, and fruit. Bite-size or smaller is usually best. But you’ll wanna stay away from hard, stringy, greasy, or expandable food. Watch out for egg shells, coffee grounds, grease, vegetable peelings, oats, rice, and pasta. These can all clog up the drains even if they make it past your disposal.

Stay away from fruit pits that can jam up the teeth of your disposal. Most disposals also can’t handle bones or nuts. Stringy food like celery or asparagus can jam things up. Finally, if it’s not food, don’t grind it!
