FAQs
What are the most common reasons a garbage disposal stops working?
The most frequent causes include power supply issues (tripped breaker or unplugged unit), jammed impellers from fibrous foods or foreign objects, a worn-out motor, or a failed reset button. In Guild homes, mineral buildup from hard water can also add strain on the unit over time.
Should I try to fix a jammed garbage disposal myself?
You can safely attempt minor fixes—turn off the power, use the reset button, or manually rotate the flywheel with an Allen wrench in the bottom slot. Never put your hand into the chamber. If the jam persists or the unit hums without turning, call our Guild-based plumbing partner to avoid motor damage.
How do I know if it’s better to repair or replace my disposal?
Consider age (most units last 8–12 years), frequency of repairs, and severity of the problem. If your disposal is over 10 years old, has recurrent clogs, leaks, or motor failure, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our technicians can evaluate and provide honest guidance on the spot.
What foods should I avoid putting down the disposal to prevent future repairs?
Keep out fibrous items (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta), coffee grounds, grease, bones, and fruit pits. Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use to flush small particles through Guild’s sewer lines effectively.
How quickly can a technician reach my home in Guild for emergency disposal repair?
Our trusted partner offers same-day service throughout Guild. For calls received before 2 p.m., a certified plumber typically arrives within 2–4 hours. After-hours emergency dispatch is available 24/7 for severe leaks or complete disposal failure.
Is there anything I can do to maintain my garbage disposal between professional visits?
Yes. Grind ice cubes and a small amount of rock salt monthly to clean the impellers, follow with citrus peels for odor control, and run cold water after every use. Periodically pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the unit, let it fizz for 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water to break down grease and keep pipes clear.
