If you notice any of these signs, it might be time to schedule garbage disposal repair:
- Strange Noises: Grinding, clanking, or rattling noises could mean there's an issue with the blades or motor.
- Frequent Jams: Mechanical problems can cause your disposal to get stuck often or need manual resetting.
- Persistent Clogs: If running the disposal doesn’t clear backed-up water or waste, there could be blockages or blade issues.
- Leaks: Frequent clogs or back-ups often lead to pipe damage and water leaking around the disposal unit or under the sink, which may also require pipe repair.
- Reduced Grinding Power: Dull blades or motor issues decrease your garbage disposal’s efficiency.
- Lingering Odors: Trapped food debris and clogs can cause stubborn bad smells that persist even after cleaning.
If any of these things sound familiar, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Shenandoah Valley and schedule a garbage disposal repair appointment today.
