Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair Services
A failing garbage disposal often gives off warning signs before it stops working completely. Recognizing these early can save you from a costly kitchen disaster and severe plumbing damage.
Here are common signs it’s time to schedule a garbage disposal repair at your Salt Lake City property:
- Frequent Resets: If you’re constantly pressing the reset button, your unit may be overheating or struggling to operate properly.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal sounds usually mean there’s a mechanical problem or a foreign object inside.
- Foul Odors: Persistent smells that don’t go away even after cleaning could point to trapped debris or drainage issues.
- Leaks Under the Sink: Water pooling beneath the unit might be coming from worn seals, loose connections, or internal cracks.
- Slow Drainage: A disposal that doesn’t grind effectively can clog your kitchen sink, making it drain slowly or not at all.
- Failure to Turn On: This could indicate electrical issues, a blown fuse, or internal motor damage.
If you’re dealing with any of the above, schedule a quick repair to avoid a full system replacement.

Customer Reviews
FAQs
How do I know if my garbage disposal is broken or just jammed?
If your unit hums but doesn’t spin, it could be jammed by debris or a foreign object. If there’s no sound at all, it may be an electrical issue. Either way, it’s best to have a licensed plumber inspect it.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unclog my disposal?
No. Chemical cleaners can damage the disposal’s internal parts and your pipes. A clog should be cleared using safe, manual methods or by a professional.
Is it better to repair or replace a garbage disposal?
If your unit is over 8–10 years old or needs frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. For newer systems with isolated issues, repair is usually a better option.
What can and can’t I put down a garbage disposal?
You should avoid fibrous foods (like celery), bones, grease, and coffee grounds. Only soft, small food scraps should go down the disposal.
How long should a garbage disposal last?
Most units last 8–15 years with proper use and maintenance. Regular cleaning and mindful disposal habits can help extend its lifespan.
