FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual noises, frequent clogging, slow draining, foul odors, leaks under the sink, and the disposal not turning on. If you notice any of these issues, it might be time to call a professional for repair.

Can I fix my garbage disposal myself or should I hire a professional?

While some minor issues, like reset button problems or small clogs, can be addressed with basic troubleshooting, most repairs should be handled by a professional. Attempting to fix more complex issues on your own can lead to further damage or even injury.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is making a humming noise but not working?

A humming noise usually indicates that the motor is running but the blades are stuck. Turn off the disposal and check for any obstructions. If you can't find the issue or if removing the obstruction doesn't solve the problem, contact a professional for assistance.

How can I prevent my garbage disposal from getting clogged?

To prevent clogs, avoid putting fibrous foods, coffee grounds, eggshells, and grease down the disposal. Always run plenty of cold water before, during, and after using the disposal to help flush materials through the system.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking?

First, identify where the leak is coming from. If it's from the sink flange, the disposal unit may need to be resealed. If the leak is from the hose or pipe connections, tightening the connections might help. For leaks from the disposal body itself, a replacement might be necessary. In any case, it's best to consult a professional for a proper assessment.

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

It's a good idea to have your garbage disposal inspected once a year to ensure it’s functioning properly and to address any minor issues before they become major problems. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your disposal and keep it running efficiently.

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!

Dakota Sweat was friendly, courteous and professional! He fixed my sink (by removing disposal per my request) in a timely manner and left area clean. He also gave me options for adding disposal back. I will definitely use Hep again in the future. B. Thomas

Jonathan helped fix our garbage disposal and found out that we needed to replace the switch. He was very quick and efficient. He was also very patient with my very interested 3.5 year old.

Just used HEP again for some electrical issues....Ric was great, informative and had a resolution to our issues quickly!!! Thanks Ric and HEP for another outstanding job...... I have used HEP pretty frequently this year for various jobs that I needed help with in a home I was selling and now in a new home recently purchased. HEP was on the way when I needed a repair for a leaky toilet, installation of a new range hood, installation of 2 garbage disposals for 2 kitchens, electrical outlets installed for the 2 garbage disposals, conversion of a fuse box to a circuit breaker and next week they will be coming to repair/replace my A/C unit. Why do I keep coming back to them? No doubt because HEP is on the way anytime I need them. Their techs are knowledgeable and just get the job done. I most definitely will keep using them in the future!
