Like any other appliance or machine, a garbage disposal can experience mechanical or electrical failure after years of normal wear and tear. Garbage disposal issues can manifest in a wide variety of ways. You should immediately discontinue the use of your garbage disposal and call a licensed technician for help when you notice symptoms of garbage disposal failure. Any of the following could be a sign that you need to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Escondido:
- Jammed Blades - When fast-moving parts shift or warp over time, the result can be jammed blades, rendering your disposal totally unfunctional or even creating a potential location for a clog.
- Unusual Noises - Garbage disposals can be somewhat noisy devices even when they’re in good working order, but if you notice grinding, whining, howling, or rattling noises that don’t seem normal, please shut off your unit, disconnect its breaker switch for good measure, and call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Escondido with a description of the sound.
- Leaking Units - Leaks involving garbage disposals can be more complex to repair than other under-sink leaks and may, therefore, require the skilled eye of a Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Escondido technician with garbage disposal repair experience.
