Common Garbage Disposal Issues and Solutions
Garbage disposals are a convenient kitchen appliance, but they can face various issues like clogs, power failures, and leaks. A common problem is a blocked drain, often caused by food debris or foreign objects. In such cases, our plumbers use specialized tools to remove blockages without damaging the unit. If your disposal is making unusual noises or not turning on, it might be due to a tripped breaker or a jammed motor. Our experts can quickly diagnose and repair these issues, often by resetting the disposal or checking the power switch. Leaking is another issue, typically occurring at the sink flange or the pipe connections. Our team ensures all connections are secure and sealed to prevent future leaks.
Extending the Life of Your Garbage Disposal
Proper maintenance is essential for prolonging the life of your garbage disposal, potentially extending it well beyond 10 years. Regularly cleaning the unit and avoiding the disposal of non-food items can prevent clogs and mechanical failures. It’s also important to run cold water while the disposal is in use to help move debris through the pipes. If your disposal becomes jammed, avoid using your hands to clear the blockage. Instead, use a plunger or the reset button to safely remove the obstruction. Trusted Plumbing and Heating offers routine maintenance services to keep your disposal running smoothly, ensuring it remains a reliable kitchen asset. With our team nearby, you can trust us to handle any disposal issue promptly and professionally.
