Garbage disposals are a small electric appliance that's installed underneath a kitchen sink between the drain and a \"trap,\" which collects and shreds food waste into pieces that are small enough to pass through your home's plumbing system. Just like any other mechanical piece of equipment, and because it's connected to your sewage or septic system, there's a good chance that plumbing issues can occur at some point. When that happens it's good to know a reliable plumber that knows how to diagnose and repair your garbage disposal.<\/p>\n

Common Garbage Disposal Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fix it yourself!\u00a0 Try following these simple steps before calling a professional. Cleaning the disposal can often get rid of any foul odors and improve efficiency. If you notice any strange smells coming from your garbage disposal, try these steps:<\/p>\n\n

    \n \t
  • Grind ice cubes and orange, lemon, or lime rinds in the disposal for about 30 seconds.<\/li>\n \t
  • Pour a small amount of liquid dish detergent into the disposal while it is still running.<\/li>\n \t
  • Rinse any remaining debris by running cold water for about 30 seconds.<\/li>\n \t
  • If the problem persists, contact us for\u00a0plumbing services in Metro-Detroit\u00a0right away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If your garbage disposal stops working completely, many disposals have a reset button you can check before calling a professional plumber for garbage disposal repairs. Most garbage disposals have an overload protector that senses when the motor is overheating and shuts it off. If your garbage disposal stops during use, this is most likely your problem, and it's an easy fix.<\/p>\n

    Your next steps should be:<\/p>\n\n

      \n \t
    • Turn the disposal switch off.<\/li>\n \t
    • Keep your hands and other objects away from the drain.<\/li>\n \t
    • Make sure the disposal is plugged in all the way in the outlet.<\/li>\n \t
    • With the power switch turned off, press the reset switch. You should be able to reach it on the front or bottom of the garbage disposal.<\/li>\n \t
    • Turn the garbage disposal back on and test it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Garbage Disposal Installations & Replacements<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Garbage disposals have both electrical and plumbing connections, so it's recommended that you have a professional\u00a0plumber\u00a0handle the diagnosis and repair of your disposal. We will make sure that your sink is compatible to withstand the vibrations that come with operating a garbage disposal if you've never had one before.
