FAQs
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?
Common signs that your disposal may need attention include persistent clogs, unusual noises (grinding or buzzing), foul odors that won’t go away, and water leaking under the sink. If the unit no longer runs at all and keeps tripping the circuit breaker, it may be time to consider a replacement. In Cleveland, our experienced plumbers can quickly diagnose the issue and recommend the best repair or replacement solution.
Why is my garbage disposal making a loud humming noise but not working?
A humming noise often indicates that your disposal’s motor is powered but the blades are jammed. Debris like bones, fibrous vegetables, or utensils can get stuck. In many cases, the fix involves safely removing the jam; however, using improper tools or forcing the disposal can damage it further. Our Cleveland-based technicians can safely clear jams and get your system running smoothly again.
Why does my garbage disposal keep getting clogged?
Frequent clogs happen when non-disposable or high-fiber materials, such as banana peels or coffee grounds, are put into the disposal. Overloading the disposal with large amounts of food waste can also cause backups. Our professional team can clear blockages, and teach you proper disposal practices to reduce clogs and ensure efficient operation.
What should I do if my disposal is leaking?
Leaks can occur from the sink flange or at points where the disposal unit connects to the dishwasher or drain pipe. First, turn off the disposal and inspect connections for worn gaskets or loose screws. If the leak persists, it’s best to contact a qualified plumber in Cleveland. Prompt repair will prevent damage to cabinets and avoid mold or mildew growth.
Which foods should never be put down a garbage disposal?
Avoid fibrous materials (celery stalks, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta, rice), bones, coffee grounds, and grease or oil. These items can tangle the blades or solidify in the drain, causing clogs and damage. Proper disposal of these food wastes will extend the life of your system and help prevent costly repairs.
How can I keep my garbage disposal running optimally?
Run cold water during and after each use to ensure food waste travels smoothly down the drain. Regularly cleaning the disposal by grinding ice cubes and small citrus peels will help remove residue and neutralize odors. Scheduling routine check-ups with a trusted Cleveland plumber can also catch minor issues early, keeping your unit in top condition.
