FAQs

What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs that your garbage disposal needs repair include unusual noises, frequent clogs, bad odors that persist even after cleaning, leakage, and the unit not turning on or taking longer than usual to perform its function. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to seek professional help.

How often should I clean my garbage disposal to prevent issues?

It's recommended to clean your garbage disposal at least once a week to prevent build-up of food particles and grease which can lead to clogs and bad odors. Use a mixture of ice cubes and rock salt or a combination of vinegar and baking soda to maintain a clean and odor-free disposal.

Can I repair my garbage disposal myself or do I need a professional?

While minor issues like resetting the unit or unclogging it using a hex wrench can be handled by yourself, more complex problems such as leaks, electrical issues, or persistent malfunctions require the expertise of a professional plumber. Attempting to fix these on your own can cause further damage and may void any warranties.

What items should never be put into a garbage disposal?

To ensure the longevity of your garbage disposal, avoid putting hard items like bones, fruit pits, or shells, as well as fibrous materials such as celery stalks, corn husks, or onion skins. Grease, oil, and fats should also never be disposed of using your garbage disposal as they can solidify and cause clogs.

How long does a typical garbage disposal unit last?

A well-maintained garbage disposal unit can last between 10 to 15 years. Regular cleaning, avoiding improper items, and timely repairs can help extend its lifespan. If your unit is frequently breaking down and is nearing the end of this range, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.

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

If your garbage disposal is making a humming noise but not functioning, it could be due to a jam or motor issue. First, turn off the disposal and check for visible obstructions using tongs. If this doesn't solve the issue, use the reset button located underneath the unit, or use an Allen wrench to manually turn the motor. If these steps don't work, it's time to call a professional repair service.

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

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.
