FAQs

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

Common signs that your garbage disposal may need repair include unusual noises such as grinding or rattling, frequent clogs, persistent foul odors, leaks underneath the unit, and the disposal not turning on or shutting off unexpectedly. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to have a professional inspect your unit.

How can I troubleshoot my garbage disposal before calling a professional?

Before calling a professional, you can try a few troubleshooting steps: Make sure the disposal is plugged in correctly, press the reset button usually found at the bottom of the unit, check for obstructions in the disposal, and ensure the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's best to contact a professional.

What should I avoid putting down my garbage disposal to prevent repairs?

To avoid frequent repairs, do not put fibrous or stringy foods (like celery or corn husks), starchy substances (like potato peels), grease, oil, fat, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and non-food materials down the disposal. These items can cause clogs and damage the blades.

How often should I clean my garbage disposal?

It's good practice to clean your garbage disposal every two weeks. You can do this by running cold water and dish soap through the disposal for about 30 seconds, or you can use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to help remove odors and buildup. Additionally, grinding small chunks of citrus fruits can freshen up the smell.

Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?

Whether to repair or replace your garbage disposal depends on the age of the unit and the extent of the damage. If your disposal is over 10 years old or requires frequent repairs, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. However, minor issues such as leaks or jams can often be resolved with a repair.

How long does a garbage disposal repair typically take?

The duration of a garbage disposal repair can vary depending on the issue. Most common repairs, such as clearing jams or fixing minor leaks, can usually be completed within an hour. More complex problems might take longer, but a professional plumber in Powell can provide a more accurate time estimate after assessing the situation.

Just used HEP again for some electrical issues....Ric was great, informative and had a resolution to our issues quickly!!! Thanks Ric and HEP for another outstanding job...... I have used HEP pretty frequently this year for various jobs that I needed help with in a home I was selling and now in a new home recently purchased. HEP was on the way when I needed a repair for a leaky toilet, installation of a new range hood, installation of 2 garbage disposals for 2 kitchens, electrical outlets installed for the 2 garbage disposals, conversion of a fuse box to a circuit breaker and next week they will be coming to repair/replace my A/C unit. Why do I keep coming back to them? No doubt because HEP is on the way anytime I need them. Their techs are knowledgeable and just get the job done. I most definitely will keep using them in the future!
