Garbage Disposal Issues: A Brief Overview

Garbage disposals can encounter a range of problems over time, often due to misuse, aging components, or improper installation. From minor jams to major malfunctions, even a small issue with your garbage disposal can disrupt your daily routine. Prompt repair and maintenance are key to ensuring your disposal operates efficiently and extends its lifespan.

FAQs About Garbage Disposal Installation And Repair

Regular maintenance is recommended at least once a year to prevent potential issues and prolong the life of your disposal.

While minor issues like jams can sometimes be addressed by homeowners, it’s often best to leave repairs to trained professionals to avoid causing further damage.

Fibrous or starchy foods, grease, bones, and non-food items should never be put down the disposal as they can cause clogs or damage.

Installation time can vary depending on factors such as the type of disposal and the complexity of your plumbing system, but it typically takes a few hours.

Persistent leaks, frequent breakdowns, or a disposal that is more than 10 years old may indicate that it’s time for a replacement.
