Need Garbage Disposal Repair? You May Be Able to Solve the Problem Yourself

Sometimes the answer to repairing the problem is as easy as pushing a reset button or rinsing excess food particles down the drain. Is something stuck in the disposal? Maybe there is foreign matter such as a lid to a sippy cup or a utensil that accidentally slid into the disposal. These items are easy to spot and just as easy to remove, but what if food particles or one of those plastic, bread ties is stuck between the blades?

Grab a wooden spoon or a pair of tongs and try to wiggle the culprit free. Always remember to turn the power off before reaching into the disposal and never use your hands. Although the disposal may be off, it is still possible to injure yourself on the blades.

Call Us for Professional Drain Cleaning

Sometimes a garbage disposal will stop working properly because of a drainage issue. If you’ve made it a habit of pouring grease or fatty substances down your drain, this could be a real possibility. In instances where you suspect a clogged drain, avoid the temptation to run out and buy drain cleaner. Instead, give us a call and let us use our professional drain cleaning and inspection methods. Water-jetting and camera inspections are much more reliable and less destructive than chemical drain cleaners.
