What types of problems is your disposal causing you? Common complaints we hear from our customers about their disposals is that it is causing the kitchen sink to back up or the blades won’t chop up the food waste properly. We also handle concerns related to leak, broken motors, and loud noises. All of these problems are something that we can address and fix for our customers.

Why Is My Garbage Disposal So Loud?

Many people call our offices concerned about the noise their disposal is making. The fact is that disposals are not quiet appliance. They rumble and make a big fuss when they are working. If you have dishes on one side of the sink, they may vibrate leading to louder noises.

So, when should you be concerned? We tell our customers to give us a call if they flip the switch and the disposal hums or it doesn’t start at all. Sometimes loose blades or congested flywheels can also sound weird. As a general rule, if you start your disposal and the noise you hear isn’t like anything you’ve heard before, give us a call. We’ll be more than happy to check it out.

Is a Bad Smell a Sign of Trouble?

Not necessarily. Disposals smell from time to time, especially if they haven’t been used or cleaned for a while. You can eliminate odors by pouring vinegar down the disposal and running cold water with the disposal on for about 30 seconds. You might also want to buy a lemon or lime the next time you go to the store, cut it up, and run it thru the disposal. If this doesn’t work, it is possible that there is a small blockage somewhere in your drain line that needs to be flushed. Give us a call and we’ll come out to investigate.

When Should I Buy a New Disposal?

The average garbage disposal will last about a decade. Unless your disposal isn’t working, we suggest saving your money and waiting to buy a new appliance. However, if your disposal has had a few repairs or it is approaching the 10 year mark, you may want to start looking for a replacement. We can help you find a new model and install it for you at an affordable rate.
