Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair or Replacement

Not sure if you need to repair or replace your kitchen garbage disposal? Here are the most common problems and when you may need to consider an upgrade. 

Common garbage disposal problems

Some of the most common reasons for local garbage disposal services in Troy include:

  • Electrical issues or motor failure
  • Loud noises or grinding sounds 
  • Seal failure or cracked housing 
  • Frequent clogging due to food waste buildup or improper usage
  • Slow draining from pipe blockages or grease accumulation
  • Foul odors caused by trapped food and bacterial growth

When to repair vs. replace your garbage disposal

Signs your garbage disposal is beyond repair include slower food grinding and drainage or otherwise poor performance, frequent clogs or breakdowns, or if it’s older than 10 years old.

The average garbage disposal typically lasts around a decade. Upgrading to a new, more efficient model helps keep your kitchen clean and odor-free, protects your plumbing, and reduces the amount of waste heading to landfills.

Garbage disposal repair

When it comes to garbage disposal repair in Troy, we diagnose problems like clogs, leaks, and motor failure and fix noisy or stuck garbage disposals quickly. We also do electrical troubleshooting for garbage disposals that won’t turn on. 

Garbage disposal installation and replacement

Our team offers expert kitchen disposal installation in Troy, including installing new garbage disposals in homes and businesses, upgrading old units to high-powered or quieter models, ensuring proper plumbing and electrical connections, and selecting a disposal compatible with your sink type and plumbing setup.

Garbage disposal maintenance and preventative care

Routine cleaning and care is the best way to prevent clogs. When you schedule garbage disposal maintenance in Troy, we’ll inspect and clean the machinery, check the plumbing, and look for signs of disrepair or leaks.  

Best practices for extending the service life of your garbage disposal between maintenance calls include disposing of small amounts of food, running the disposal for a moment after it sounds empty, and using cold water instead of hot. Run the disposal regularly and never put grease, shells, nuts, utensils, wrappers, coffee grounds, pasta, bones, or fibrous/stringy produce inside.

Garbage Disposal Features & Options

New garbage disposals come with many new features and options. Not sure what you’re looking for? Contact Hoover and we’ll help you find the right garbage disposal unit for your home. We provide flexible financing to qualifying customers.

Choosing the right garbage disposal for your home

Types of garbage disposals include continuous feed disposals designed to handle a continuous flow of waste and batch feed disposals that require you to put all the food in at once and use a cover or stopper to activate the grinder. We carry both types from popular brands like InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, and KitchenAid. 

Garbage disposals also have different horsepower ratings. We’ll recommend the right size motor for your household needs, depending on the number of people in your home, your kitchen plumbing setup, and how often you’ll use the disposal. 

Quiet and high-efficiency garbage disposals 

Older garbage disposals are loud, disturbing the household every time you turn them on. A new, soundproof model significantly reduces kitchen noise and vibrations. New garbage disposals are also energy-efficient for lower energy consumption. Energy-efficient fixtures are environmentally friendly and lower your utility bills. 

Eco-friendly garbage disposals

When you use a garbage disposal, your food goes into the wastewater supply. The tiny, ground-up pieces of food decompose faster, reducing the amount of trash at the landfill and enriching the water with nutrients. Eco-friendly disposals have water-saving features and food scrap collection compartments to use in your composting pile.
