FAQs

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

If you notice unusual noises, frequent clogs, leaks, or if the disposal stops working altogether, these are clear indicators that your unit may be experiencing issues. Warning signs include humming without operation, burning smells, or visible water pooling under the unit. Early detection can prevent further damage and potential plumbing issues.

How can I troubleshoot my malfunctioning garbage disposal?

Before calling a professional, check the power source and ensure the reset button on the bottom of the unit has not been tripped. Try running the disposal with cold water and small amounts of food waste. If the unit still fails to operate or makes unusual sounds, it may be jammed or have a mechanical issue that requires professional attention.

What should I do if I detect a leak around my garbage disposal?

If you notice water pooling near your garbage disposal, first turn off the power to the unit to avoid any electrical hazards. Leaks can be due to loose or worn seals, or cracks in the unit. It is important to inspect the connections and sink flange. However, for a thorough inspection and proper repair, contact a professional plumber experienced in garbage disposal repairs in Monterey.

How do I reset a stuck garbage disposal unit?

Many garbage disposals come with a built-in reset button, usually located at the bottom of the unit. First, ensure the disposal is off and unplugged. Press the reset button to see if this resolves the issue. After resetting, plug in the unit and run it with cold water. If the problem persists, there may be an underlying mechanical failure that requires professional intervention.

When should I consider calling a professional for garbage disposal repair?

If basic troubleshooting steps don't restore functionality or if you notice persistent issues such as leaks, strange noises, or reduced performance, it's a good idea to call a professional. Additionally, if your garbage disposal is old or has recurring problems, professional diagnostics and repairs can help avoid further damage and ensure safe operation.

Why should I choose a local professional in Monterey for my garbage disposal repair?

Working with a local professional in Monterey ensures faster response times and a more personalized service. Local experts are familiar with regional plumbing systems and common issues in the area. They can offer reliable diagnostics, high-quality repairs, and preventative maintenance advice tailored to your specific needs, ultimately saving you time and money.

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.
