Typical Garbage Disposal Issues & Trusted Solutions
With extensive industry expertise and specialized skills, we handle repairs for all brands and models of garbage disposals. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Everett, we provide comprehensive plumbing services for plumbing systems at residential and commercial properties. If your home or business disposal unit breaks down, we're here to assist. Below are some typical disposal problems we address:
Blocked Garbage Disposal
A jammed garbage disposal often emits a buzzing noise, indicating an obstruction in the blade mechanism that's blocking its operation. This problem results in sluggish drainage or sink overflow. Listed below are some common causes of this issue:
- Eggshells
- Bones
- Foreign items
- Fibrous veggies
- Fruit pits
- Fats and oils
No Power
If your garbage disposal is silent and non-functional, numerous factors might be at fault for this situation. Potential problems could be an unplugged power cord, a need to hit the reset button, or a faulty switch causing dysfunction. For any electrical concerns, we strongly advise reaching out to a certified electrician and scheduling repairs with them.
Leaking Garbage Disposal
Your disposal unit might develop leaks from various locations, such as the top, side, or bottom. These leaks can affect your dishwasher, drain pipes, and other areas of your household plumbing system. Solutions depend on the origin and might include replacing an O-ring, tightening components, or performing more complex and expensive repairs.
Poor Drainage
An efficient garbage disposal effortlessly grinds food, promoting the seamless movement of waste and liquids through the unit and down the drain system. If water and debris accumulate in your sink, it could be because of dull blades or a clog deeper in the plumbing.
Humming Sound
If your garbage disposal is humming and not functioning well, this problematic situation could be due to your unit being stuck or lacking sufficient power to handle food waste effectively.
Bad Odors
As time passes, leftover food can build up in your garbage disposal, leading to bad odors. Thankfully, these smells often don't require professional help to resolve them. A deep cleaning could be enough to remove the odor. However, if the smell remains after thoroughly cleaning your sink and disposal, you may need to take apart the disposal.
Leaking Into the Dishwasher 
When your dishwasher is connected to your household garbage disposal, it can cause leaks within the dishwasher. A leak like this often indicates improper installation of the dishwasher line by the installer.
Strange Noises
Grinding noises and other strange sounds from your garbage disposal might signal an issue. This disturbing noise could result from debris in the blades, a missing piece, or a component that has moved out of place.
