FAQs

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

Common signs include unusual noises (such as grinding or humming), frequent clogs, a burning smell, leaks under the unit, or complete failure to start. If you notice any of these issues, it might be time to call a professional for a thorough inspection.

How can I determine if my garbage disposal is clogged or jammed?

If your disposal makes a humming noise but doesn’t grind effectively, it’s often an indication of a jam. Another sign is when water drains slowly or backs up. In many cases, you can safely inspect the disposal by turning off the power and manually checking for visible obstructions. However, if the problem persists, professional service is recommended.

Can I repair the garbage disposal myself or should I hire a professional?

While some minor issues like a reset might be within a homeowner's capability, most repairs should be handled by professionals. Attempting DIY repairs could lead to injury, further damage, or voiding any warranties. Professionals are equipped with the right tools and knowledge to diagnose and correct the problem safely.

What might cause my garbage disposal to leak?

Leaks can result from several issues: worn-out seals or gaskets, a loose mounting assembly, or even cracks in the disposal unit itself. In some cases, the leak might originate from the sink flange rather than the disposal. Identifying the specific source is key to ensuring the repair addresses the underlying cause effectively.

How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?

The repair time can vary based on the issue’s complexity. Minor repairs such as clearing a jam or tightening connections can often be completed in under an hour. More extensive repairs, including part replacements, may take several hours. In any case, your repair technician will provide estimates and timelines during the initial assessment.

What steps are involved in a typical garbage disposal repair service in Hillsboro?

A typical service starts with a detailed inspection to identify the malfunction’s cause. The technician will then disconnect the unit and perform necessary diagnostics. Depending on the findings, the repair might involve clearing clogs, replacing worn parts, sealing leaks, or in rare cases, recommending a complete replacement. Once completed, the technician will test the unit and ensure that everything is functioning properly before leaving.

What our customers say

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.

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
