FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises, frequent clogs, water leaks, foul odors, and the disposal not turning on or having difficulty grinding food waste. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to schedule a repair.

Can I fix a jammed garbage disposal myself?

Yes, you can often fix a jammed garbage disposal yourself. First, make sure the unit is turned off. Then, use an Allen wrench to manually turn the disposal at the bottom hole, which can help dislodge whatever is causing the jam. However, if the problem persists, it's best to call a professional.

Why is my garbage disposal leaking water?

Leaks can occur for several reasons: damaged seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit itself. Identifying the source of the leak is essential. If it's coming from the top, it's likely the sink flange; if from the side, the dishwasher connection; and if from the bottom, the disposal unit may have a crack.

What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

Avoid putting hard items like bones, fibrous materials like celery, starchy foods like pasta, grease, and non-food items. These materials can cause clogs, jams, or damage to the disposal blades.

How often should I clean my garbage disposal?

It's a good idea to clean your garbage disposal every week. You can use a mixture of ice and rock salt to dislodge debris, or grind citrus peels to eliminate odors. Once a month, you can also use baking soda and vinegar for a deeper cleanse.

How long does a typical garbage disposal last?

A well-maintained garbage disposal can last between 8 to 15 years. Regular cleaning, proper use, and prompt repairs can help extend its lifespan. If your unit is frequently breaking down, it might be time to consider a replacement.

I had a sink disposal that was not working. HEP sent Colin out to look at the issue. Turns out it was a screw in the disposal and Colin found it and fixed it. Thank you!
