Signs You Need Our Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement Service

You should get on the phone with our crew if you notice any of the following garbage disposal repair and replacement problems:

Difficulties With Grinding Waste

Your garbage disposal system is supposed to grind up everything you drop into it. If your unit isn’t chopping up waste properly, that’s a sign to have the blades looked at. In some cases, it may also point to issues with the motor’s power source or the grinding mechanism.  

Either way, you should schedule a consultation with our crew.

Loud or Noisy Operation

Garbage disposal systems aren’t the quietest units when in operation. However, they shouldn’t make any jarring noises while running. If the motor suddenly gets louder than normal, that’s your cue to have us check out your unit.

In many cases, we’ll find loose components or inorganic materials stuck in the disposal responsible for the noise. It’s best to shut down the unit to prevent more serious damage.

Regular Automatic Shut-Downs

Garbage disposal systems have sensors and switches to ensure the unit is operating safely. Malfunctioning sensors cause the unit to shut down and other issues. 

Are you hitting the reset button almost every time you have to use the garbage disposal system? Talk to us about garbage disposal repair and replacement as soon as possible.

Leaks Around the Disposal

The slurry and any moisture from the grinding process should escape into the drainage system completely. If you find leaks coming from the garbage disposal system, call our technician for garbage disposal leak repair before things get messy.

In many cases, fixing the problem is as simple as replacing a worn-out valve or washer. If it’s more intensive plumbing work, such as replacing pipes and joints, you don’t want to leave it too long.

Unresponsive Disposal

Can you hear the system humming without grinding any waste? You have a jammed disposal. However, you should never attempt DIY clog removal from a garbage disposal system, as it’s easy to make a mistake that might damage the unit or injure you.

If you can’t hear any sounds at all, you may be dealing with a complete motor failure.

Have you noticed any of the above signs? Reach out to our highly trained garbage disposal repair and replacement team! We stock our vans with all the parts we need to get your unit working perfectly again, and if repairs are not practical, we’ll find you a perfect replacement.

Our Approach to Garbage Disposal Replacement

When it’s time to replace the garbage disposal system, you can count on our crew to help you find a unit that snugly fits your home’s space, needs, and budget. For example, you might choose a garbage disposal system with an induction motor or one with a permanent magnet motor:

• Permanent magnet motors run faster when you’re grinding small waste. They are just like the motor you have in a blender. 
• Permanent magnet motors are not a good option for large households that generate a lot of organic waste, though. The high horsepower induction motors grind heavier loads with ease.

Typically, we recommend sticking with something similar to what you had before—as long as you never had any issues with it. We are happy to talk you through the options at any time.
