Common Signs of a Broken Garbage Disposal

It can be easy to overlook minor issues with your garbage disposal, but you should really start paying attention to every weird noise and unpleasant odor they may be producing. After all, these issues could be just the tip of the iceberg. Get in touch with a professional plumber if your home’s garbage disposal is presenting any of the following problems:

Strange Noises

Grinding, rattling, or humming sounds may mean something is stuck inside the disposal. If you’ve tried to remove anything that may be stuck and you still hear those weird noises, it could mean there are worn-out parts or issues with the motor.

Persistent Odors

If unpleasant odors linger even after you’ve tried to clean your disposal, food particles may be trapped inside, or there could be a problem with the drainage system itself. Call our team for help troubleshooting the source of the bad smells.

Leaks Under the Sink

A leak around the garbage disposal unit or under your sink can signal a broken seal, loose parts, or even cracks in the disposal. These leaks can damage your cabinetry and flooring if not addressed promptly, so reach out to GEI Plumbing for the best garbage disposal repair solutions in Houston, TX. We’ll help you troubleshoot the leak right away.

Slow Drainage

If water is draining slowly from the sink despite a clear pipe, the disposal may not be processing food waste adequately, causing a blockage. You will need to have your disposal unit repaired right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth it to repair a garbage disposal?

Absolutely! We believe in repairing before replacing. It’s often more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. And unless your disposal is older than the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s dinosaur fossils (we exaggerate, of course), chances are we can fix it. Speak to our professional plumbers today to find out if a garbage disposal repair is right for your situation.

How many years does a garbage disposal last?

With proper care, a garbage disposal can last 8-15 years. So, don’t ignore the importance of regular maintenance, and reach out to our team for timely repairs.

Are there foods I shouldn’t put in the garbage disposal?

While garbage disposals are handy, they aren’t designed for every type of food waste. Avoid putting fibrous items (like celery), bones, grease, and eggshells down the disposal to prevent clogs and damage.

What can I do if my garbage disposal smells?

Odors are often due to trapped food particles. Running the disposal with ice and a bit of lemon can help remove residue. For stubborn smells, a professional cleaning may be necessary.

Why is my garbage disposal making a humming noise but not working?

A humming noise usually means the motor is running but the blades aren’t turning, often due to a jam. You can try resetting it or checking for clogs, but if the problem persists, call our Houston garbage disposal repair team.

How much does a garbage disposal replacement cost?

Installation costs vary based on the unit selected and installation requirements. We provide upfront quotes and competitive pricing on all our services, so don’t hesitate to reach out for more information if you’re ready to say goodbye to your garbage disposal problems.
