FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs that your garbage disposal needs repair include unusual noises, water leaks under the sink, bad odors that persist despite cleaning, frequent resets, slow drainage, or the disposal not turning on at all.

Why is my garbage disposal making a loud or unusual noise?

Loud or unusual noise in your garbage disposal often means there is a foreign object stuck in the blades or the blades themselves are damaged. To resolve this, turn off the unit and inspect it for any visible obstructions. If the noise persists, it may require professional repair.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is not working at all?

If your garbage disposal is not working, first ensure it is plugged in and check the reset button located at the bottom. If it has tripped, press it to reset. Additionally, check the circuit breaker. If these steps do not resolve the issue, there could be a more significant electrical or mechanical problem that needs professional inspection.

How can I prevent frequent problems with my garbage disposal?

Prevent frequent problems by avoiding putting hard or fibrous waste like bones, corn husks, or celery into the disposal. Always run cold water while the disposal is on and for a few seconds afterward. Regularly clean the disposal with ice cubes and citrus peels to keep it fresh and tackle minor clogs.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my garbage disposal?

Using chemical drain cleaners in your garbage disposal is not recommended as they can damage the disposal's components and corrode the pipes. Instead, use natural solutions such as baking soda and vinegar or call a professional plumber for persistent clogs.

When should I call a professional for garbage disposal repair?

You should call a professional if you notice persistent issues such as consistent clogging, leaks, strange noises that don't go away, or if the disposal isn't working despite resetting and troubleshooting. Professionals can diagnose and fix the problem without causing further damage.

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.

Jorge Saldana is a professional and personable person! He took care of installing a new kitchen faucet for us and installing a new garbage disposal. We didn’t realize the disposal would need to be replaced yet we’re so glad he did. The disposal had been there since the house was built in 2004. It had stopped working . Jorge saw another issue we had under the kitchen sink. So thankful for his good assessment, knowledge and training.He replaced 2 emergency shut off valves that were also leaking . Because of a couple of things that popped up while assessing, he was here 3 days in a row for shorter periods of time because of my work schedule . While Working steadily, he educated me along the way in answering my questions about the process, fees, model numbers of new equipment etc. I’m very pleased with the work Jorge did! Thank you, HEP Cleveland for sending him our way.

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.
