We Can Help You With Any of The Following Issues With Your Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals may not be the most complex appliance in your home, but they have several moving parts—and when one fails, you’re left with a messy, smelly sink. Our expert plumbers provide fast, accurate garbage disposal repair to get your kitchen back in order. We quickly diagnose the problem and deliver lasting solutions so you can get back to daily life without the hassle. If your unit is beyond repair, we also offer professional garbage disposal replacement, installing a new system that restores your sink to like-new condition. Reach out to our plumbing experts if you notice any of the following:

Metal-on-metal grinding or loud noises

Over time, garbage disposals can begin to wear out, or mechanical parts may begin to loosen. This can lead to a loud and alarming grinding sound that, if left alone, can lead to the complete destruction of the unit itself.

The disposal fails to grind food waste effectively

Most commonly, this will be an issue with the blades – either they will be dulled, bent, or misaligned. Our experts can diagnose this problem and fix it in no time.

The disposal is leaking

Plumbing leaks are one of the most potentially damaging issues a homeowner can wind up dealing with. If your disposal is leaking, call us right away! Our leak detection and repair experts can have the issue handled as swiftly as accuracy will allow.

The disposal is jammed

Jamming can happen when either the wrong kinds of food are placed in the disposal (fibrous vegetables, bones, coffee grounds) or if the blades are bent in a way that prevents operation.

The disposal refuses to engage when switched on

Though they’re often lumped in with most plumbing appliances, disposals still use electricity. This means it’s possible to encounter issues like loose connections or wire damage, which will require professional service.

What Shouldn’t Go Down the Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals are designed to handle certain types of waste, and using them to dispose of materials they're not designed for can lead to problems. Here are some things to never put in your disposal if you want to keep it running smoothly:

  • Coffee grounds
  • Oatmeal
  • Nuts
  • Eggshells
  • Potato peels
  • Paint
  • Pasta
  • Bones

The Water Line Repair & Replacement Process

Keeping your garbage disposal properly maintained helps prevent clogs, breakdowns, and costly repairs. At Fast Drains Plumbing and more, our expert technicians provide professional maintenance services to keep your disposal running smoothly and efficiently.

After the assessment, our plumbers will walk you through your options. Common repair methods include:

  • Run cold water – Always run cold water while operating the disposal to flush food particles through the system.
  • Avoid hard items – Never put bones, shells, or fruit pits into the unit, as they can damage blades and cause jams.
  • Clean regularly – Use ice and vinegar to clear debris from the blades, or grind citrus peels for a fresh smell. Running dish detergent through the unit a few times a month also helps reduce buildup.
  • Ice cubes – Put ice cubes in the disposal to sharpen the blades between uses

Our professional maintenance services go beyond DIY care. We can sharpen blades, remove stubborn buildup, and eliminate odors using specialized tools and solutions. Contact Fast Drains Plumbing today to schedule expert garbage disposal maintenance and repair.

What is a garbage disposal?
A garbage disposal is a motorized device that you can install under your sink to prevent clogs in your drain. It lets you grind up food waste into small pieces that are safe to flush down the drain.
What size garbage disposal do I need?
To find the right size disposal for your home, you should first think about how much power you will need. Several things can be used to figure this out.
  • How many people do you live with?
  • How often do you plan to use the garbage disposal?
  • What kind of food do you usually prepare, and how much trash does it make?
Why does my disposal smell?
Inside the grinding chamber, there is probably food waste that is starting to go bad. It could be that you didn't grind the last batch long enough or that food is stuck in the machine or didn't go down the drain properly. To get rid of these smells, you should fill the unit with a lot of cold water and turn it on. Let it grind and flush out everything in the chamber. Next, you should clean your disposal well to get rid of any bacteria that may still be there and be causing the smell.
How does a garbage disposal work?
As soon as you turn on your garbage disposal, a small plate at the bottom of the "grinding chamber" begins to spin very quickly. There are two impellers on this plate. These parts are important because they help create the centrifugal force that pushes the food scraps against the chamber's inner wall. This wall crushes the food into small pieces that can be washed down the drain.
What items can you put in garbage disposal?
People often think that you can put anything and everything down a garbage disposal. In reality, there are things that you should never put down a garbage disposal. This includes the leftovers of a lot of well-known foods like eggshells, grease, oyster shells, and more.
What type of garbage disposal do i need?
When you need to replace your garbage disposal, the size is one of the biggest factors in choosing a new model. Manufacturers describe the size of the motor in horsepower. Models with lower horsepower cost less, but they can't handle as much food or use. Common sizes include:
  • 1/3 horsepower: This size only handles occasional use, so it's not suitable for most kitchens if you plan to use it regularly.
  • 1/2 horsepower: With the smaller size, the 1/2 horsepower model works in tight spaces and for minimal use. It's best to put the food in the unit slowly and use plenty of water.
  • 3/4 horsepower: A 3/4-horsepower garbage disposal tackles the needs of the average family well. It's less likely to jam even with larger amounts of food.
  • 1 horsepower: For large families or home chefs that do lots of cooking, a 1-horsepower unit grinds through just about anything. However, they're more expensive and take up more space under your sink.
  • Higher horsepower: Most units with higher horsepower ratings are designed for commercial use, but you can get larger residential garbage disposals if you have a larger family.
