FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises, frequent resets, water leaks beneath the unit, foul odors that persist despite cleaning, and the disposal failing to turn on or function properly.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is making strange noises?

Strange noises often indicate that something is stuck in the unit or a part is damaged. Avoid using the disposal until you have it inspected by a professional plumber to prevent further damage.

How can I prevent my garbage disposal from getting clogged?

To prevent clogs, avoid putting fibrous materials like celery, potato peels, and corn husks into the disposal. Also, run cold water for about 15 seconds before and after using the disposal to help wash down any debris.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners to fix a clogged garbage disposal?

No, it is not safe to use chemical drain cleaners for garbage disposals. These chemicals can damage the disposal and the plumbing. It's best to use a plunger or seek professional assistance for clogs.

How often should I have my garbage disposal inspected or maintained?

It's advisable to have your garbage disposal inspected annually. Regular maintenance can help identify potential issues early and ensure the unit operates efficiently.

Can I install a new garbage disposal myself, or should I hire a professional?

While some experienced DIYers may feel comfortable installing a new garbage disposal, it's generally recommended to hire a professional. This ensures the unit is installed correctly, safely, and adheres to all local plumbing codes.

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.
