FAQs

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

Common signs include unusual noises, leaks, frequent clogs, or the disposal failing to turn on. If you notice these symptoms, it could indicate issues like motor burnout, jammed blades, or wear and tear in the disposal unit.

Is it safe to try and repair my garbage disposal myself?

While some basic troubleshooting steps like resetting the disposal or checking for jams may be done safely, attempting complex repairs without the proper knowledge can be dangerous. It is generally best to call a professional plumber to ensure the repair is done safely and correctly.

How do plumbers in Guild diagnose garbage disposal issues?

Plumbers begin by inspecting the unit for obvious signs of wear, leaks, and damaged parts. They then test the electrical connections and motor function, check for any blockages or jams, and may run diagnostics to pinpoint the exact problem. This thorough approach ensures an accurate diagnosis and effective repair.

Can a problematic garbage disposal affect my plumbing system as a whole?

Yes, a malfunctioning garbage disposal can indirectly cause plumbing issues such as clogs or back-ups in your drains. Over time, persistent problems can lead to leaks or damage to connected pipes, which is why it’s important to address these repairs promptly to avoid further complications.

How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?

The duration of a repair can vary depending on the issue. For a standard repair involving jammed parts or a simple fix, it may take an hour or two. More complex issues, such as motor replacement or extensive leakage repairs, might require additional time. A professional plumber can provide a more precise estimate during the diagnosis.

Are there preventative maintenance tips to prolong my garbage disposal’s life?

To maintain your unit, run cold water while using the disposal to help solidify any grease and wash it away. Avoid disposing of fibrous materials, large bones, or non-food items that can cause jams. Regular cleaning, such as using mild dish soap and ice cubes, can help keep the blades sharp and remove buildup.

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.
