FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises, persistent odors, frequent clogs, leaks, and the unit not turning on at all. If your garbage disposal is making grinding or rattling sounds, it could indicate a foreign object is stuck or internal components are damaged.

How can I troubleshoot my garbage disposal before calling a professional?

You can try resetting the unit using the reset button typically found on the bottom of the disposal. Ensure the unit is properly plugged in and check your circuit breaker to make sure it hasn't tripped. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage the disposal and pipes. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it’s best to contact a professional.

Is it worth repairing my garbage disposal, or should I replace it?

If the disposal is relatively new and the repair cost is low, fixing it is usually worth it. However, if it's over a decade old or has frequent issues, replacement might be more cost-effective. Our technicians can help assess the situation and recommend the best course of action.

What can I do to maintain my garbage disposal and prevent future issues?

Regularly run cold water while using your disposal to help solidify any grease or oils so they can be chopped up before entering the pipes. Avoid putting hard items like bones, fibrous foods like celery, and starchy foods like potato peels down the disposal. Occasionally, grind ice cubes in the unit to help clean the blades and use citrus peels to keep it smelling fresh.

Can I use hot water when running my garbage disposal?

No, it is generally recommended to use cold water when operating your garbage disposal. Hot water can melt fats and grease, which can then solidify and cause clogs further down the plumbing. Cold water helps keep everything solid so the disposal can break it up more effectively.

How much does garbage disposal repair typically cost?

The cost of garbage disposal repair can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the specific repair required. On average, homeowners in Bristol might expect to spend between £50 to £150 for common repairs. For a more accurate estimate, it's best to schedule an inspection with one of our professional plumbers.

What our customers say

Jorge and Steven were here today to install a new garbage disposal. They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. And, not only that...they had great personalities and we could tell they enjoyed their jobs. They are perfect examples that show us that Hep is a top-notch company made that way by their dedicated employees. I love the $7 prices and have already begun referring Hep to several of my neighbors. Keep up the good work! Don and Margo Peltz

Replaced grinder/sewage pump. BBUR and Jorge did a great job under terrible weather conditions. They were very courteous and professional. And the office notified me and replaced the pump again when they recognize that the supply house gave them the incorrect pump.
