Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Garbage disposals help break down food waste and keep the kitchen clean and efficient. However, they can break down over time due to wear and tear or neglect. This often leads to malfunctions. Some of the most common garbage disposal issues we fix include:
- Jams or Clogs – This occurs when food particles, grease, and other debris accumulate and cause a garbage disposal blockage or clog. The clogs often prevent the garbage disposal from running as it should. Fixing a jam is not complicated and you can do it by yourself. However, you may need the help of a plumber to fix frequent jams or clogs.
- Leaks – Frequent use and neglect can lead to worn seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit, especially under the sink. These issues often lead to garbage disposal leaks. A plumber can help you tighten the loose connections or replace the worn-out parts.
- Strange Noises – Unusual grinding noises often indicate internal damage due to foreign materials running through the disposal, including metal or rings. A plumber can help fix the grinding noises, including removing any foreign objects and replacing damaged parts.
- Foul Odors – Your garbage disposal unit can have foul odors or persistent smells due to trapped food particles. Home remedies like pouring baking soda and vinegar into the unit can help deal with the odors. However, you may need a plumber to disassemble and clean the unit if the odors persist.
- Motor or Electrical Failures – The garbage disposal can stop running due to a malfunctioning motor or faulty wiring. While an electrician can help fix the wiring or motor issues, you need a plumber to make a proper diagnosis.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t wait for the problem to worsen as it may require you to replace your garbage disposal unit. Contact our Tucson-based plumbers at Curtis Plumbing. We are experts at diagnosing and fixing garbage disposal issues.
