Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation

Most people have had the experience of opening their disposal to a vile smell. There are a few reasons this could be happening. 

First, organic matter can build up on the blades, creating a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. This is especially true if you don't regularly run the disposal while adding dish soap and cold water, as this helps to break down and wash away organic matter. 

Second, your garburator drain could be backed up and slowly leaking sewage, which is not only unhygienic but also a health hazard. If you suspect this is the case, you should call our plumber ASAP for our drain cleaning service.

Have you ever flipped the switch to your garbage disposal, only to be greeted by a loud humming or buzzing noise? If so, you're not alone. A humming garbage disposal is a common problem, and there are a few different reasons why it might occur. 

The most common possibility is that something is stuck in the blades of the disposal. If an object is blocking the blades, they may not be able to move freely, causing the motor to overheat and hum. 

Another possibility is that the flywheel, which helps to spin the blades, may be damaged or jammed. If this is the case, you'll need to call our professional to have your waste disposal repaired or replaced. 

In some cases, a humming garbage disposal may simply be due to a loose connection. If this is the case, you can try tightening the screws that hold the unit in place. However, if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, it's always best to call our professional for help. We will take care of all your plumbing needs!

Many homeowners are unsure about whether they can use a garbage disposal with a septic system. The answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind. 

First, be mindful of what you're putting down at your disposal. Avoid putting coffee grounds, eggshells, or grease down the drain, as these can clog the system. 

Second, run cold water for 30 seconds before and after using the disposal to help flush waste through the system. 

And finally, have your septic tank inspected and pumped every two to three years to ensure it's functioning properly. With a little care, you can safely use a garbage disposal with a septic system.

If your garbage disposal starts making strange noises or stops working altogether, it may be time to call a plumber. However, there are a few things you can check first to see if you can fix the problem yourself. 

One common issue is that objects have become stuck in the disposal. If this happens, turn off the power to the disposal and reach in with a long pair of tongs to remove the object.

 Another common issue is that the disposal is clogged with food waste. You can try to clear the clog by running cold water down the drain and gently using a plunger to break up the clog. 

If these methods don't work, then it's time to call our professional. We will take care of all your garbage disposal and other plumbing needs!
