FAQs
What are common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Common signs include unusual noises such as grinding or rattling, foul odors that won’t go away, slow drainage, frequent clogs, or the disposal failing to turn on at all. If you notice these issues, it’s a good idea to schedule a professional inspection before further damage occurs.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
It depends on the severity of the issue and the age of the unit. Minor problems, like a jammed flywheel or loose connections, can often be corrected through repairs. However, if your disposal is over 10 years old, has recurring issues, or has severe mechanical damage, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
How can I maintain my garbage disposal to prevent clogs and damage?
Regular maintenance includes running cold water before and after using the disposal, avoiding putting hard or fibrous waste (like bones or celery) down the drain, cutting larger items into smaller pieces, and occasionally using mild detergent or baking soda and vinegar to clear out buildup. These steps help keep your disposal in good working order.
Can I fix my garbage disposal myself, or should I call a plumber?
Some smaller issues—like a simple jam—can be addressed by following manufacturer instructions, being sure to cut the power before working on the disposal. However, if you’re not comfortable troubleshooting the issue or it involves wiring or major mechanical components, it’s safest to call a licensed plumber to avoid injury or further damage.
How long does a garbage disposal typically last?
A well-maintained garbage disposal can last between 8 to 15 years. Proper usage (like avoiding grinding large bones or hard materials) and regular maintenance will help you get the most out of your unit’s lifespan.
