Common Garbage Disposal Issues We Fix

While a well-functioning disposal system can be a huge kitchen upgrade, issues with your unit can be annoying and inconvenient at best and a safety hazard at worst. Hey Dude Plumbing has years of experience to quickly diagnose and repair a number of garbage disposal issues, including:   

  • Clogs - Food scraps, grease, or fibrous materials like celery can accumulate and block your garbage disposal, leading to poor drainage and malfunctions.
  • Strange noises - Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds often indicate a jammed object like a utensil or bone stuck in the disposal's blades.
  • Leaks - Loose connections or worn-out seals can cause leaks under your sink, leading to water damage if not addressed quickly.
  • Motor failures - If the disposal doesn’t turn on or shuts off during operation, an overloaded motor or electrical issue could be the culprit.
  • Foul odors - Debris trapped in the disposal that doesn’t get fully ground up can result in lingering bad smells.
  • Weak performance - Dull blades or a failing motor can cause your disposal to struggle with properly grinding food particles.

Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs to Be Replaced

While garbage disposals are designed to be durable, there comes a time when repair is no longer enough, and replacement becomes necessary. One clear sign is frequent clogs. If your disposal struggles to handle food waste that it previously managed with ease, it could indicate worn-out blades or internal damage. Similarly, persistent foul odors that don’t go away with cleaning may suggest trapped debris in places that can’t be reached or internal components breaking down. These issues not only disrupt your kitchen use but could also lead to further complications if left unaddressed.

Unusual noises like grinding, rattling, or humming are another red flag that your garbage disposal may need to be replaced. These sounds often indicate that important parts like the motor or impellers are damaged beyond repair. Leaks and water pooling under your sink could be due to cracks in the housing or failing seals that repairs can’t fix. Ignoring leaks can lead to water damage and even mold growth, making replacement essential.

If your disposal takes longer to grind food or fails to work altogether despite troubleshooting, replacement may be the most cost-effective solution. Recognizing the signs early helps avoid further damage to your plumbing system and helps maintain a clean and functional kitchen.

The Benefits of Garbage Disposal Maintenance

Regular maintenance is the key to extending the life of your garbage disposal and avoiding costly repairs. With simple habits like routine cleanings, inspecting for wear and tear, and addressing small issues early, you can keep your system running smoothly for years to come. Our maintenance services also include checks to tackle potential problems before they escalate. With our support, you can focus on what matters knowing your kitchen will stay clean, efficient, and worry-free.

Regular maintenance and timely fixes also prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the unit, allowing it to function efficiently for years to come. This not only saves you the hassle of replacement but also reduces waste by keeping your current disposal in use longer. A properly repaired disposal can also contribute to a more environmentally friendly home. It reduces the amount of organic waste that ends up in landfills, which helps cut down on methane emissions, a harmful greenhouse gas.

    "They were professional and courteous and made a bad situation bearable."
    I was having an issue with my water heater that was only four months old. Jeremy came out and knew what the problem was only my description. He did additional checks, ordered the parts, and did a reset to get the water to heat. Highly recommend!
