Garbage Disposal Repair Services

Common Issues with Garbage Disposals

Here are some common issues we address with garbage disposals:

• Failure to turn on: The garbage disposal does not activate.
• Noise without proper functionality: The disposal makes noise but does not work correctly.
• Leaks: The disposal is experiencing leakage.
• Persistent odor: The disposal emits an unpleasant odor that persists.
• Slow or clogged drainage: Water does not drain or drains slowly through the disposal.

When using your garbage disposal, always run cold water. Cold water helps solidify grease, making it easier to break down in the system. Regular use also prevents rust buildup.
It is important to remember that when encountering any issues, it is advisable to seek assistance from professional garbage disposal repair services.

Fixing a Leak with Garbage Disposal Repair

If you have a leaky garbage disposal, the issue can often be repaired by identifying the specific part causing the problem in your home. Over time, disposals may develop leaks due to the following reasons:

• Deterioration of seals.
• Loose pipes.
• Dryness and breakage of flanges or gaskets.
• Fissures in the body of the garbage disposal.

Leaks can also occur where the disposal is connected to dishwashers, particularly during the self-cleaning process.

These problems can typically be resolved, except for cracks in the body or inner lining of the disposal. In such cases, installing a new garbage disposal is necessary. Keep in mind that diagnosing and repairing a garbage disposal can be time-consuming, especially for DIYers. Consider the time commitment before attempting the repair yourself.

By having a skilled technician, such as one from Alliance Plumbing Services, diagnose and repair the problem, you can identify other components that might be prone to failure. This proactive approach ensures that you won’t find yourself fixing the same disposal again in a matter of weeks.
