Garbage Disposal Repair Abilene, TX

Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?

It’s almost always jammed, not broken, and clearing the jam typically restores normal operation.

Why is my disposal leaking?

A worn seal at the sink flange or a cracked housing are the usual causes. Other frequent calls: a disposal that trips the breaker repeatedly, one that grinds slowly or weakly, and units that make a loud rattling noise from something caught inside.

What Actually Shortens a Disposal’s Life

Fibrous foods like celery, starchy foods like potato peels, and grease poured down the drain cause most premature failures, not normal age. Running cold water for 30 seconds before and after use, and avoiding those materials, is the single biggest thing that extends a disposal’s working life.

Brands We Repair

Do you repair InSinkErator disposals?

Yes, along with Waste King, Moen, and GE models.

Garbage Disposal Lifespan and Repair vs. Replace

Garbage disposals typically last 10 to 12 years. A jam or a leaking seal is almost always worth repairing. A motor that’s burned out on a unit past 10 years is usually a replacement, since a new disposal costs relatively little compared to other appliances.
