Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Handle

Your garbage disposal is an essential kitchen appliance that needs to function properly for daily tasks. Our team regularly addresses a wide range of disposal issues, providing effective solutions to restore your unit to proper working order. Understanding these common problems can help you identify when it's time to call a professional.

1. Humming But Not Working

When your disposal hums but doesn't grind, this often indicates a jammed unit. While this might seem like a simple problem, attempting DIY repairs can be dangerous and potentially cause more damage. Our professionals can safely diagnose and fix the issue, preventing further complications.

2. Leaking Disposals

A leaking garbage disposal can lead to water damage and potentially harmful mold growth under your sink. Leaks can occur at various points:

  • Upper mounting flange
  • Disposal body seals
  • Drain line connections
  • Dishwasher connection points

Our experienced plumbers will identify the exact source of the leak and implement the appropriate repair solution.

3. Strange Noises

Unusual sounds from your disposal often signal problems that require professional attention. These may include:

  • Grinding or metallic sounds
  • Rattling noises
  • High-pitched whining
  • Clicking or clanking

Our team can determine whether these sounds indicate a simple jam or a more serious mechanical issue requiring repair or replacement.
