What are the signs my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs include unusual grinding noises, foul odors that won’t go away, water leaking under the sink, or a unit that won’t turn on. Slow draining sinks can also indicate a disposal issue. Addressing these problems early can prevent more serious plumbing damage.

How long does a garbage disposal usually last?

Most disposals last between 8 and 12 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Frequent clogs, dull blades, or repeated breakdowns may signal it’s time for a replacement. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your unit.

Can I put any type of food waste in my garbage disposal?

Not all food scraps are safe for your disposal. Avoid fibrous foods like celery, potato peels, and corn husks, as well as grease, coffee grounds, and bones. Sticking to appropriate waste keeps your disposal running smoothly and prevents clogs.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is jammed?

First, turn off the disposal to avoid damaging the motor. Some units have a reset button or manual crank that can help clear the jam safely. If it still won’t work, it’s best to call for professional repair to avoid injury or further damage.

Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?

If your disposal is fairly new and the issue is minor, repair is often the best choice. Older units with frequent problems are usually more cost-effective to replace. Our technicians can help you decide the best option for your home and budget.
