Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair Services
A professionally installed garbage disposal is essential for a well-functioning kitchen. Faulty garbage disposals can lead to blockages and bad odors, all while losing the functionality and convenience of disposing of your garbage effectively. At Magical Plumbing, we provide trusted garbage disposal installation and repair services to South Florida. With a strong reputation for reliability and excellence, here’s a look at our professional garbage disposal services available to you.
Garbage Disposal Repair Services
Although garbage disposals are designed to be durable, with long-term use, they’ll require occasional repairs. If you notice an unfamiliar grinding or humming sound, a leak, or a complete stop in grinding, your garbage disposal may be experiencing one of the following problems.
Leaks
Leaks can occur at several junctions in your garbage disposal, including the dishwasher connection, the discharge drainpipe, or the sink flange. One of our plumbers will quickly be able to identify where the leak is coming from.
Causes can range from a worn rubber gasket, rusted housing, or even a loose bolt, and can range from a slow drip or a substantial flow of water. Leak repairs are generally quick and effective, restoring your garbage disposal’s functionality in no time. While fixing to your garbage disposal, our team will also be able to detect drain leaks throughout your plumbing system in need of repair.
Blockages
If your disposal is making a humming sound without the grinder turning, it could mean there’s a block or jam. Garbage disposal blockages are often caused by small bones, fruit pips, grease, egg shells, fibrous foods, or any other waste that was accidentally placed in the disposal. Attempting to unblock your disposal could cause damage, which is why it’s best to leave it to a professional.
If you’re experiencing persistent jams, this could point towards a more serious problem that will need to be investigated. Any strange noises, such as rattling or scraping, should also be investigated further.
Not Turning On
Your disposal may be experiencing an electrical fault and a failing motor, resulting in no power being sent to the unit. If our technician suspects an electrical fault, they will give your garbage disposal a full electrical inspection, including a wiring check. Depending on the findings, you may require a new motor if your existing motor has burnt out.
When It’s Time To Replace Your Garbage Disposal
Although repairs are often an effective solution, in some cases your garbage disposal may be in need of a replacement.
For units less than 10 years old, a replacement is unlikely; however, units approaching the 10-year mark may be due for a replacement. If your unit is experiencing ongoing breakdowns with multiple component failures, it’s a sure sign that it’s time for a new disposal.
From motor failure to major leaks and large-scale corrosion, major failures are a sign that your unit requires a replacement. A Magical Plumbing plumber will best advise you on the overall condition of your disposal and when it might be time to replace it.
Preventative Garbage Disposal Maintenance Services
Prioritizing regular maintenance will help guarantee your garbage disposal runs the way it’s supposed to.
Our routine maintenance service includes:
- Routine cleaning
- Checking all connections
- Sharpening the blades
- Drain line flushing
- Electrical check
Over and above our maintenance checks, it’s recommended to always use cold water before, during, and after using your disposal. Cold water helps to prevent grease buildup on your pipes. It’s also best to refrain from putting problem foods such as potato peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells down your disposal.
