Garbage Disposal Repair—Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair?
- If your disposal makes grinding noises, jams frequently, has a bad smell that won’t go away, or leaks under the sink, it’s time for a repair. Don’t ignore humming noises with no movement—call for help.
- How long does a garbage disposal repair usually take?
- Most repairs take less than an hour once we arrive. If parts are needed, it may take a bit longer. We always work to get your kitchen back to normal as quickly as possible.
- What are common garbage disposal problems?
- Jams from food scraps, tripped reset buttons, worn-out blades, leaks, and stuck gears are all common issues. Sometimes a simple reset works; other times, skilled repair is needed.
- Can I fix my garbage disposal myself?
- Simple issues, like pressing the reset button, are safe to try. But for persistent jams, leaks, or electrical problems, it’s safer to call a professional. Avoid putting your hand down the disposal.
