FAQs
What are the common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Common signs include unusual noises like grinding or clunking, persistent odors, water leaks under the sink, disposal not turning on, frequent clogging, and slow draining. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's time to consider a repair.
Can I repair a garbage disposal myself?
While minor issues like tightening loose connections can be DIY projects, it's often best to consult with experts for more complex issues involving electrical components or severe clogs to ensure safe and effective repair. Our team in Chattanooga is ready to help with any necessary repairs.
How can I prevent my garbage disposal from clogging?
To prevent clogs, avoid disposing of fibrous materials like celery or potato peels, avoid pouring grease into the drain, and run the disposal regularly with plenty of cold water. Grinding small bones and ice cubes can help clean the blades and prevent buildup.
What should I do if my garbage disposal smells bad?
Run cold water and turn on the unit to clear out waste. Grinding citrus peels can also help to remove odors. If the smell persists, it might be due to deeper buildup that requires professional cleaning or repair.
Is it normal for my garbage disposal to make a noise?
Some noise is normal, but loud grinding or metallic sounds suggest there may be an obstruction or a mechanical issue. Avoid using the disposal until it can be inspected to prevent further damage.
How often should I have my garbage disposal serviced?
It's a good idea to have your garbage disposal serviced annually to ensure it runs efficiently. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of the unit.
