FAQs

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

Typical signs include unusual noises, a slow or incomplete grind, leaking around the unit, and persistent odors. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to have a professional inspect your disposal to prevent further damage.

How can I safely reset or restart my garbage disposal?

First, make sure the disposal is switched off and unplugged. Locate the reset button, usually found on the bottom of the unit. Press the reset button, then reconnect and test the disposal. If it does not function properly afterward, it may require professional repair.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is jammed?

If your disposal is jammed, turn off the power completely to avoid injury. Use an Allen wrench or a disposal wrench to manually turn the rotor from underneath the unit. Once the jam is cleared, reset the disposal and run it with water to ensure proper operation. If the issue persists, contact a repair service for further assistance.

Can a leaking garbage disposal be repaired, and what might cause it?

Yes, many leaks can be repaired by identifying the source of the leak such as worn out seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit. A professional plumber in Shelbyville can assess the damage and perform necessary repairs. In cases of severe damage, replacement might be recommended.

Is it more cost-effective to repair the garbage disposal or replace it entirely?

It depends on the extent of the damage. For minor issues like jams or small leaks, repair is often sufficient. However, if the disposal is old or has multiple problems, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. A professional evaluation will help determine the best course of action.

How can I maintain my garbage disposal to avoid future problems?

Regular maintenance includes running cold water while using the disposal, avoiding hard or fibrous materials that may clog the unit, and periodically cleaning with vinegar and ice cubes to remove buildup. Regular inspections by a Shelbyville professional can also help catch issues early before they become major problems.

What our customers say

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.

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.
