Garbage Disposal Repair

The disposal under your kitchen sink is responsible for grinding up food particles that make their way down the drain. As such, this appliance is robust, but it can still experience various problems. Here are the top reasons Salt Lake City homeowners call SameDay:

• The garbage disposal won’t operate: If you flip the wall switch and nothing happens, make sure the unit is plugged in and no circuit breakers have tripped. Next, try pressing the reset button. If these troubleshooting tips don’t work, it could mean the motor has worn out and you need to replace the unit.
• The flywheel is jammed: If the disposal hums when you flip the switch, but it doesn’t grind up food, this means the flywheel is stuck. Try freeing the jam by inserting a hex wrench of the proper size into the hole on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Alternately, you can prod the flywheel by sticking a broom handle (not your fingers!) into the sink.
• The flywheel is worn out: When old blades become dull, they no longer grind food effectively. SameDay can remove the flywheel and sharpen the blades or replace the grinding mechanism to make your garbage disposal as good as new!
• The garbage disposal is leaking: This is caused by a worn-out hose or seal. We’ll thoroughly inspect your system to find the problem and perform the necessary repair.
• The drain line is clogged: If your kitchen sink clogs, never use chemical drain cleaner! Instead, call a plumber to locate and clear the clog without damaging your disposal.
