  • Equipped with specialized skills and knowledge, we service all makes and models of garbage disposals. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Northern Colorado offers complete plumbing solutions for residential plumbing and commercial systems. If your household or business disposal fails, we're ready to help. Here are some common disposal issues we resolve:

  • A blocked garbage disposal typically produces a humming sound, signaling something is obstructing the blades' movement. This issue leads to slow draining or overflowing liquids in the sink. Below are several frequent reasons for this problem:

    • Eggshells
    • Bones
    • Foreign items
    • Fibrous veggies
    • Fruit pits
    • Fats and oils
  • If your garbage disposal is quiet and not working, there could be several reasons. Some possible issues include a disconnected power source, the necessity to press the reset button, or a malfunctioning switch. For any electrical issues, we highly recommend contacting a qualified electrician.

  • Your disposal unit could leak from several areas, like the top, side, or bottom. These leaks may impact your dishwasher, drain lines, or plumbing system. Fixes vary based on the source and might involve changing an O-ring, tightening parts, or undertaking more complex and costly repairs.

Poor Drainage

A well-functioning garbage disposal grinds food without struggling, ensuring the smooth flow of waste and liquids. If your sink is backing up with water and debris, it might be due to worn-out blades or a blockage farther down the pipes.

Humming Sound

If your garbage disposal makes a humming noise but doesn't work properly, it might be jammed or not powered enough to process food waste efficiently.

Bad Odors

Over time, food remnants may accumulate in your garbage disposal, causing unpleasant smells. Fortunately, these odors don't always indicate a need for professional repairs. A thorough cleaning might be sufficient to eliminate the smell. If the odor persists after cleaning your sink and disposal, disassembling the disposal might be necessary.

Leaking Into the Dishwasher

When your dishwasher is connected to the garbage disposal, it can cause leaks within the dishwasher. Such a leak often indicates improper installation of the dishwasher line by the installer.

Strange Noises

Unusual noises, like metal grinding from your garbage disposal, could indicate a problem. This unsettling sound might stem from debris in the blades, a missing part, or a component that has shifted out of position.

Tips to Maintain Your Garbage Disposal Over Time

Our skilled and prompt service team will swiftly identify the root of your specific garbage disposal problem and provide an effective long-term fix. Before contacting Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Northern Colorado for plumbing repairs at your residence or commercial property, we urge you to consider resetting your garbage disposal by pressing the button on top. This straightforward step often restores its operation. We've included some standard guidelines below to assist you in maintaining your garbage disposal's smooth operation:

  • Run cold water while using the disposal to improve its efficiency in handling food scraps.
  • Avoid grinding hard items and fibrous materials, such as bones and corn husks.
  • Regularly clean the unit with ice cubes and citrus peels to remove odors, built-up residue, and food waste.
  • Use your disposal daily.
  • Refrain from using strong cleaning chemicals.
