Garbage Disposal Repair in Kannapolis, NC

Signs You Need to Repair Your Garbage Disposal

When is it time to repair your garbage disposal? If you’re asking that question, there’s a good chance you’re already noticing some signs of wear and tear, or perhaps it’s simply not functioning the way it used to.

If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to contact a professional:

• Leaks under the kitchen sink
• Grinding/rattling/humming noise from disposal
• Garbage disposal won’t turn on
• Persistent clogs in the kitchen sink
• Unpleasant odor from the kitchen drain
• Kitchen sink attracts pests

Some of these problems are irritating and can make it hard to get much of anything done in your kitchen. But some of these problems can actually pose a health hazard, especially if unprocessed food scraps start attracting bugs and other pests. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, give us a call!

Our friendly plumbing professionals have the tools and skills to handle your garbage disposal repairs, and we can even offer same-day service when you’re having an emergency.

How to Prevent Garbage Disposal Damage

It’s tempting to think your garbage disposal can handle anything you throw at it. But if you overload or misuse your disposal, you could be setting yourself up for a future repair bill! What foods should never go down your garbage disposal?

• Bones
• Eggshells
• Coffee grounds
• Stringy vegetables
• Nuts

Instead of trying to put these items down the garbage disposal, scrape them into the trash first. Then, when you wash your plate, your garbage disposal can handle any residue. Otherwise, you risk overloading the disposal, and these dense, fibrous foods can cause damage to the mechanical components of your disposal.

Even if you have the unit switched off, the blades inside your garbage disposal can present a considerable safety hazard. Of course, if you do experience problems with your disposal, don’t try and reach into the drain to fish out the obstruction. Instead, give us a call. The team at Morris-Jenkins is here for you til midnight, and we can handle any garbage disposal repairs needed to get your kitchen back to normal!
