Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
Help for jammed, leaking, humming, clogged, or broken garbage disposals.
A garbage disposal problem can disrupt the whole kitchen quickly. If the disposal will not turn on, makes a humming or grinding sound, leaks under the sink, smells bad, or causes the kitchen sink to back up, Allied Reddi-Rooter can help.
Allied provides garbage disposal repair, replacement, and installation support for homeowners in Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, and nearby communities.
Important safety note: Never put your hand into the drain or garbage disposal grinding chamber. A garbage disposal can be dangerous even when it appears to be off.
Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Garbage disposals are used often and can develop problems from normal wear, jams, leaks, food buildup, damaged parts, or drainage issues. Sometimes the problem is with the disposal itself. Other times, the issue may involve the kitchen sink drain or nearby plumbing.
Allied can help with garbage disposal problems such as:
-
A disposal that will not turn on
-
Humming sounds when the switch is flipped
-
Grinding, clanking, or unusual noises
-
Water leaking from the disposal
-
Bad odors from the disposal or sink drain
-
Kitchen sink backups
-
Jammed garbage disposals
-
Disposals that drain slowly
-
Older units that may need replacement
Garbage Disposal Repair
If your garbage disposal is not working properly, Allied can inspect the unit and related plumbing to determine the cause. A disposal that hums but does not grind may be jammed. A leaking disposal may have worn seals, loose connections, or damage to the unit. A kitchen sink backup may be connected to the disposal, the trap, or the drain line.
Repair may be possible depending on the age, condition, and type of problem. If replacement is the better option, Allied can explain the next step.
Garbage Disposal Replacement and Installation
In some cases, replacing the garbage disposal is the most practical choice. This may be true if the unit is older, leaking, repeatedly jamming, making unusual noises, or no longer working reliably.
If you have already purchased a garbage disposal, Allied can help install it. A properly installed disposal helps reduce the risk of leaks, loose connections, drainage issues, and future plumbing problems.
Kitchen Sink Backups and Disposal Drain Problems
A garbage disposal problem can sometimes look like a drain problem, and a drain problem can sometimes affect the disposal. If water is backing up into the kitchen sink, draining slowly, or causing odors, the issue may involve food buildup, grease, the trap, the disposal connection, or the kitchen drain line.
Allied Reddi-Rooter can help determine whether the problem is with the disposal itself or the plumbing connected to it.
