Schedule OnlineDo You Need to Repair or Replace It?
The Arctic Air Conditioning team has seen plumbing problems large and small, and we have all the tools and expertise to fix your garbage disposal. Here are some of the issues we service:
- Leaks: If there’s a leak, our plumbers will find the source and fix it. If the disposal is leaking from the bottom, there may be a problem with the flywheel seal. Leaks must be addressed immediately to prevent further water damage to cabinets and other areas.
- Clogs and jams: If the disposal drains slowly, dirty water flows back up into the sink, the disposal vibrates, or the operation is louder than usual, there could be a clog or jam. Food or another object may have accidentally gone into the disposal, causing the problem.
- Worn parts: You could also have worn or dull blades, worn impellers, loose mounting screws, etc. If the garbage disposal makes a loud noise, it could be a problem like this. A piece of metal or glass is another possible culprit.
- Faulty operation: Maybe your garbage disposal has just stopped working. If so— and the problem isn’t clear — we can help. We’ll detect the source and get it running again.
If repair is impossible or not as cost-effective, or your disposal is old and not performing well, we may recommend replacement.
Common Causes of Broken Garbage Disposals
Sometimes it’s hard to determine why your garbage disposal has stopped working. Luckily, our team has compiled a list of common reasons, including:
- Aging: Like all things in life, time takes its toll. When you have a garbage disposal for an extended amount of time, the inside of your disposal will start to crack and wear down. When it hits a breaking point, the system will become unusable and must be replaced.
- Improper use: I’m sure we’ve all seen the lists of things not to put down your garbage disposal. Those lists are helpful, and following them will extend the life of your disposal. Certain items can cause excessive damage to your system and require repairs.
- Faulty electrical work: If you either can’t turn your system on or it stops working in the middle of using it, it could be because of insufficient electrical work. Whether the circuit has blown or the motor on your system is out, an expert should inspect it.
Importance of Using an Expert
While some tasks around the house can be done without the help of experts, you need a professional for repairing, installing, or replacing a garbage disposal. Your disposal might malfunction for many reasons, so you need professionals to inspect and diagnose the issue. The fix for your system is likely something only professionals, like our team at Artic Air, are certified to do. Otherwise, you pose serious safety risks for yourself, your family, and your home.
