Common Garbage Disposal Issues We Solve

If you don’t pay attention to a garbage disposal when it is making noise, it will disrupt your everyday life, causing harm to your plumbing system. Our highly trained plumbers in Delaware County, PA accurately determine the problem and deliver long-lasting solutions.

Garbage Disposal Won't Turn On

If it doesn’t react when turned on, it may be a problem with the electrical connection, the reset button on the disposal, motor overload, or internal wiring. Each part is thoroughly checked for safety before even suggesting the correct repair.

Humming Noise But Won't Grind

If your garbage disposal hums but does not turn on, it means that the motor is most likely receiving power, but something is blocking it from turning on, such as a jammed impeller or something stuck inside. We clear the obstruction without harming the unit as much as possible.

Garbage Disposal Leaking from the Bottom

Leaks under the disposal may be caused by worn internal seals or damage to the housing. Our garbage disposal plumbers will try to decide if the trash compactor needs to be replaced or if the leak can be fixed.

Garbage Disposal Leaking from the Side

The most frequent leak is around the drain flange, dishwasher, or mounting assembly. We reseal or replace the damaged components so that no water is lost.

Jammed Garbage Disposal

The grinding chamber may be clogged by some food, utensils, or hard materials. We carefully remove blockages, check the motor, and allow the disposal to run safely once again.

Persistent Bad Odors

For cleaning, if there are still offensive odors, food may be trapped under the splash guard, in the grinding chamber, or in the P-trap. Build-up is removed 100%, and proper drainage is restored.

Garbage disposal repair or replacement – which is better?

When having a garbage disposal problem, many homeowners wonder, “Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?” It depends on the age, condition, and repair expense of the unit. For a disposal not greater than five years old, repair is generally the most cost-effective solution, whether it is an electrical issue, jam, or clogged parts. If properly maintained, most good trash compactors can last for 8 to 12 years. But if you’ve got an older model, and repair costs are likely to be more than $150, replacement may be a better value in the long run. Our garbage disposal plumbers in Delaware County, PA will give you an honest explanation of the choices you have available, so that you can choose the one that is most suitable for your budget and requirements.

When to Call Garbage Disposal Services

Small disposal issues can become costly plumbing problems if they’re not addressed. Early scheduling of service will help prevent clogged drains, leaks, and unscheduled services.

Some of the frequently seen signs are:

  • Disposal regularly resets itself.
  • Loud grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal sounds.
  • Water is dripping from under the sink area.
  • Slow-draining or clogged garbage disposers.
  • The meat is not properly ground.
  • Odors that still occur after cleaning.
  • The humming noise is present, but the blades aren’t spinning.
  • The disposal unit trips the circuit breaker often while in use.

Garbage Disposal FAQs

What if my garbage disposal is humming, but it won't work?
If it has a humming sound, it indicates that power is flowing to the motor, but the impeller is clogged or jammed, or there is a disposal clog. Stop motor use immediately and have it inspected to avoid motor damage.
What is the average lifespan of a garbage disposal?
Typically, the lifespan of residential garbage disposers is 8 to 12 years, which depends on the quality of the garbage disposer, how often and how it was used, and whether any maintenance was performed. Many times, their useful life can be extended with timely repairs.
Is it okay to pour grease down a garbage disposal?
No. Grease and cooking oil solidify in pipes, potentially causing a clogged garbage disposal and drain blockage. Don't pour grease down the drain; throw it in the garbage instead.
What is the cost of garbage disposal installation in PA?
Installation price depends upon the disposal design and plumbing needs. Installation costs are generally $325 to $650, though higher-priced models that include more plumbing or electrical work may require more.
What should NOT be placed in a garbage disposal?
Do not place grease, bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous vegetables (like celery), fruit pits, pasta, rice, expandable foods, or non-food items in your disposal. These materials can jam things or break the inside and outside parts, or they can clog up your drain lines.
