Garbage Disposal Repair

Garbage disposal repair is a vital service when your disposal unit malfunctions. Garbage disposal units can experience problems like jammed blades, motor failure, leaks, or electrical issues over time. At your garbage disposal repair appointment, our team will diagnose the specific issue, often starting with simple troubleshooting to determine if the problem can be resolved without replacement. Depending on the severity of the problem, repairs might involve disassembling and cleaning your unit, unclogging blades, or replacing damaged components. 

Timely garbage disposal repair can extend your unit's lifespan, prevent unnecessary replacements, and ensure that your kitchen continues to operate smoothly and hygienically.

Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair

  • Strange Noises: Unusual sounds like grinding, clanking, or rattling when the disposal is in operation can indicate a problem with the blades or motor.
  • Frequent Jams: If the disposal frequently gets jammed and requires manual resetting, it may be a sign of mechanical issues.
  • Persistent Clogs: If water or waste consistently backs up into the sink when the disposal is running, there may be blockages or problems with the blades.
  • Leaks: Any signs of water leakage around the disposal unit or under the sink could signal a malfunction and lead to the need for pipe repair.
  • Reduced Grinding Power: A noticeable decrease in the disposal's ability to grind food waste thoroughly can indicate a problem with the motor or blades.
  • Foul Odors: Lingering unpleasant smells even after cleaning could suggest food debris trapped in the disposal.

If you notice these signs, request an appointment with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Salem today or give us a call to schedule garbage disposal repair.

Garbage Disposal Installation

Tired of backups in your kitchen sink? Reach out to Mr. Rooter Plumbing to schedule a garbage disposal installation today! Garbage disposal installation is a valuable upgrade for kitchens, offering convenience and improved sanitation. Installed beneath the kitchen sink, a disposal unit consists of a motorized grinding chamber that shreds food scraps into tiny particles, which can then be flushed away with water. The garbage disposal installation process involves connecting the disposal to your sink's drain and sewer lines, as well as wiring it to an electrical circuit, and can often be part of a kitchen remodel. Mr. Rooter’s experts will assess plumbing compatibility, adhere to local building codes, and optimize the unit's operation, providing you with an efficient and hassle-free solution for disposing of kitchen waste.

Benefits of Garbage Disposal Installation

  • Convenience: Garbage disposals make it convenient to dispose of food scraps quickly and efficiently, reducing the need to collect and discard them manually.
  • Minimize Odors: By grinding food waste and flushing it away with water, garbage disposals help minimize odors associated with decomposing organic matter in your trash bin.
  • Reduced Kitchen Waste: Using a garbage disposal reduces the amount of food waste that goes into your trash can, which can help reduce the frequency of trash disposal and save on trash bags.
  • Environmental Benefits: Diverting food scraps from landfills by using a disposal can have environmental benefits, as it reduces methane emissions and landfill usage.
  • Prevent Clogs: Garbage disposals help prevent sink and drain clogs by grinding up food particles that could otherwise accumulate in your pipes.
  • Hygiene: Properly functioning disposals can help maintain kitchen hygiene by preventing the growth of bacteria and insects that can be attracted to food scraps.
