Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Repair Service

Whether from usage or external factors, garbage disposals can eventually wear down and require a professional repair or tune-up. Although you can attempt to conduct DIY repairs, to ensure repairs are correctly, we recommend contacting our plumbing experts. These are the signs it might be time for a repair:

• Persistent garbage disposal clogs: You may have a blockage in the disposal or connecting pipes if your garbage disposal frequently clogs or drains slowly — despite attempts to clear it.
• Unusual noises coming from your garbage disposal: While a garbage disposal is supposed to be loud, you can tell when the noises it makes aren’t that great. Keep your ears out for grinding, humming, or rattling sounds.
• Leakage around your garbage disposal: If you notice water leaks around the disposal unit or under the sink, you might have a problem with the seals, connections, or internal disposal components that require professional attention.

Call Leak Geeks Plumbing to request a consultation for your garbage disposal in Keller or NFW.

4 Signs You Need a New Garbage Disposal

With an average lifespan of 10 to 12 years, garbage disposals sadly don’t last forever. Yet, a garbage disposal replacement doesn’t have to catch you by surprise. Look out for these warning signs that it may be time for a new garbage disposal:

• Frequent breakdowns: It’s probably an indicator that your garbage disposal is at the end of its lifespan if it constantly malfunctions or requires repairs. Replacing it can be a better long-term investment than settling for frequent repairs.
• Visible damage: If you notice cracks, corrosion, or rust on any garbage disposal components, replacement might be necessary.
• Persistent odors: There could be bacterial buildup or damage within the garbage disposal if it has lingering odors, even with thorough cleaning and maintenance.
• Inefficiency: Finally, a garbage disposal may no longer be capable of doing its job if it struggles to grind food waste effectively. Don’t settle for a subpar disposal; replace it instead.

What You Can & Can’t Put Down the Garbage Disposal

Proper usage is the best way to keep your garbage disposal in great shape for years. A significant part of that is knowing what you should and shouldn’t put down the disposal.

Here’s a brief list of what you can and can’t put down a garbage disposal:

Can:

• Soft food scraps, like fruit peels, vegetable trimmings, and cooked leftovers
• Small bones, such as small, soft bones from fish or poultry
• Ice cubes

Can’t:

• Hard items, like seeds, bones, fruit pits, or shells
• High-fiber foods, including celery, onion skins, or banana peels
• Grease, oil, or fat
• Non-food items like paper, plastic, metal, or glass
• Large food items, including chunks of meat or whole vegetables

Following a simple list like this can ensure your garbage disposal functions properly for a long time.
