Garbage disposals are used daily, and over time, normal wear can lead to problems. Some of the most common issues we see include:
- Jamming: Food scraps or debris can prevent the disposal from grinding properly.
- Leaks: Water leaking from the disposal or connections under the sink can cause damage if not addressed quickly.
- Failure to Start: Electrical issues, tripped breakers, or switch problems may prevent the unit from turning on.
- Clogs: Grease and food buildup can restrict water flow and slow drainage.
- Bad Odors: Trapped food particles can break down and create unpleasant smells.
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, professional repair or replacement can help restore safe, reliable operation.
