Identifying Your Garbage Disposal Issues

When it comes to garbage disposal issues, there are usually two that can be noticed in your home. Our Nampa garbage disposal repair technicians can easily inspect your unit and determine an expert repair solution.

Common issues we solve include garbage disposals that:

• Makes no noise and won’t turn on – This is a common issue that many homeowners face. This can generally be caused by electrical issues in the garbage disposal. In some instances, a circuit could be flipped preventing electrical flow to the unit. In other cases, the motor may be blown altogether. Our experienced plumbers can find the solution to this issue and get your unit back up and running in no time.
• Makes noise but won’t function – This is the second most common issue with a garbage disposal. This can generally be attributed to more of a mechanical issue. In most instances, the common cause is a stuck flywheel. This will allow the unit to turn on but prevent the blades from turning altogether. Our technicians can find the reasoning for this and provide you with efficient repairs today.

When you have an issue with your garbage disposal, the most important thing to do is find professional garbage disposal services. Our Boise plumbers will thoroughly inspect the unit and provide you with a repair option that can have your garbage disposal back up and running in no time!

Pro Tips to Prevent Garbage Disposal Damage

Although most garbage disposals can handle many objects, some items should never be placed down the drain.

Materials and other items like the ones listed below can damage the blades and the motor:

• Glass
• Metal
• Plastic
• Grease, oils, fats
• Large fibrous food such as stalks of celery and corn husks

Homeowners should understand the effects of each item that is placed in the garbage disposal before attempting to jam it inside.

Although cleaning is recommended, harsh chemicals should never be used in the disposal. Avoid using drain cleaners and bleaches because these cleaning products damage the pipes and blades. In the event of damage to your garbage disposal, our technicians can provide you with garbage disposal services as well as solutions that are both practical and safe for your plumbing system.
