FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink cabinet, frequent circuit resets, foul odors that won’t flush away, slow drainage, and metal-on-metal noises. Any of these symptoms can indicate worn seals, a seized motor, or jammed impellers, and should be addressed by a licensed plumber right away to avoid further damage or a full replacement.
Can I safely reset my garbage disposal on my own, and how do I do it?
Yes. Turn the wall switch off, unplug the unit (or cut power at the breaker), and locate the small red or black reset button on the bottom of the disposal. Press it firmly; if it stays in, the unit has reset. Restore power and test it with cold water running. If the reset button pops again, the motor is drawing too much current—call Trusted Solution Plumbing for professional service.
What items should never be put down my garbage disposal?
Avoid fibrous foods (celery, onion skins, corn husks), starchy items that swell (pasta, rice, potato peels), grease, oil, coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit pits, bones, metal, glass, or plastic. These materials can wrap around the impellers, harden inside the grind chamber, or dull the blades, leading to clogs and motor burnout.
How fast can Trusted Solution Plumbing reach my Jasper home for a disposal repair?
Because we’re based right here in Jasper, our technicians typically arrive the same day you call—often within two hours for emergencies. We keep fully stocked service vans, so 90% of disposal issues are solved on the first visit.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace an older garbage disposal?
If your unit is under eight years old and the repair involves minor parts (jam clearance, gasket, or switch), fixing it is usually the best value. Disposals older than eight to ten years, suffering from repeated resets, leaking housings, or burned-out motors, are better candidates for replacement. Our tech will provide a clear price comparison on-site so you can decide with confidence.
What maintenance steps can I follow after my disposal is fixed?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding. Feed waste gradually instead of all at once. Every few weeks, grind a tray of ice cubes with a tablespoon of rock salt to clean the impellers, then freshen with a half cup of baking soda followed by a cup of white vinegar. Finally, cut power once a month and use a flashlight to visually inspect for foreign objects.
