Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my garbage disposal not working?

A garbage disposal may stop working due to a jam, an electrical issue, a tripped reset button, or worn-out internal components. You might hear humming without grinding or no sound at all. In many cases, the unit can be repaired, but older systems may require replacement for reliable performance.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

If your garbage disposal is relatively new and the issue is minor, repair is often the best option. However, if the unit is older, frequently clogged, or making unusual noises, replacement is usually more cost-effective and provides better long-term performance and reliability.

How long do garbage disposals last?

Most garbage disposals last between 8-12 years, depending on how often they are used and how well they are maintained. Regular cleaning and avoiding improper materials can help extend the lifespan, but over time, wear and tear will naturally reduce performance.

Can you install a new garbage disposal?

Yes, we install new garbage disposals and ensure they are properly connected to your plumbing and electrical system. Proper installation is essential for safe operation, leak prevention, and optimal performance, especially when upgrading to a newer or more powerful unit.

What can I safely put in a garbage disposal?

Garbage disposals are designed to handle most soft food waste, but items like grease, bones, coffee grounds, and fibrous foods should be avoided. These materials can cause clogs or damage the unit. Following proper usage guidelines helps maintain performance and extend the life of your disposal.
