FAQs

What are the common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

If you notice unusual noises such as grinding or humming, leaks around the disposal unit, frequent clogs, or a sudden smell of burning, these are clear signs that your garbage disposal may need repair. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and potential plumbing problems.

How can I safely troubleshoot my garbage disposal in Deer Lodge?

Before attempting any troubleshooting, make sure to turn off the power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker. Check for any food particles or debris causing a clog, reset the unit using the reset button if available, and use a manual tool like a hex key (if recommended by the manufacturer) to dislodge any obstructions. Always consult the user manual and, if in doubt, contact a professional plumber.

What might cause my garbage disposal to leak?

Leaks in a garbage disposal system can be caused by worn-out or damaged seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit’s housing. Over time, constant use and exposure to water can deteriorate these parts. A professional inspection can help identify the exact cause and recommend the necessary repairs to ensure a secure, leak-free operation.

How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?

The repair time can vary depending on the nature of the problem. Minor issues such as a jam or resetting the unit might take just 30 minutes to an hour, while more extensive repairs involving component replacement or addressing internal mechanical failures could take several hours. The plumber will provide an estimated timeframe after diagnosing the issue.

Are there any maintenance tips to extend the life of my garbage disposal?

Yes, regular maintenance can help prolong the life of your garbage disposal. Avoid putting fibrous or hard materials down the disposal, run cold water before, during, and after use to help solidify any fats that can be broken up by the disposal, and periodically grind ice cubes or citrus peels to help clean and freshen the unit. Regular professional check-ups can also identify potential issues before they become serious.

Yes, we understand that plumbing issues can occur at inconvenient times. Our team in Deer Lodge offers emergency garbage disposal repair services to address urgent problems quickly.

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

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.
