Since garbage disposals are often used, they have many chances to break or become worn out. Let A&A Plumbing take out some of the irritating guesswork that comes with working on a garbage disposal.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems
It’s easy to become reckless with a garbage disposal. As an appliance that makes our lives easier, when it breaks we are often reminded just how much we rely on it. Most garbage disposal problems can be sorted into three categories.
- Jamming or Clogged: For the most part, a garbage disposal is only equipped to handle softer organic waste. If bones or other hard foods get stuck in the disposal, it could cause it to jam and not work properly. By running hot water through the disposal, you may be able to clear the clog yourself. However you run the risk of damaging the motor or blades.
- Leaking: This problem is common as it can occur whenever there are loose screws or gaskets. If your garbage disposal is leaking, there is no way to fix it without taking it apart and looking inside, so calling a professional right from the start is the best idea.
- Loss of Power: If your garbage disposal does not turn on, even when it’s connected to a power source and seems to be in good condition, calling a professional is your best bet.
At A&A Plumbing, our techs are experts with garbage disposals and can diagnose and repair your problem with ease.
Repair or Replace?
