Common causes of malfunctioning garbage disposal include jamming, leaks, and motor failures.

Our plumbers use video technology to pinpoint exactly where your clog is located. This helps because it saves on costly digging or damage to your pipe system. We use the camera to identify broken or collapsed pipe, blockages, corrosion, leaking joints, and even tree root infiltration. We like to know what we’re going to clear out before we clean it! Our plumbers can handle:

 

• Jamming is the most frequent problem, which occurs when foreign objects or certain food particles, such as bones or fibrous vegetables, get caught in the blades.
• Leaks indicate a faulty disposal unit and worn-out gaskets. Also, if you notice garbage disposal blades loose, it may indicate internal damage that demands immediate attention.
• Noisy grinding or a complete lack of grinding power could be due to dull blades, loose components, or electrical problems.
• If the reset button trips repeatedly, it could indicate a deeper problem, such as a power overload or motor malfunction. The Herrmann Services team can determine the cause and recommend the best course of action.

Our team is skilled in diagnosing these problems accurately and replacing damaged parts like blades, motors, and seals to ensure your disposal functions optimally. We also troubleshoot electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or a tripped circuit breaker, which can cause your unit to stop working entirely.

If you plan to replace the disposal or are thinking about adding a new unit to your kitchen, Herrmann Services can help. Our process starts with a compatibility assessment followed by a professional installation.

Assessing your kitchen plumbing for compatibility ensures the new garbage disposal fits perfectly with your existing plumbing for a stress-free experience. Doing so minimizes the risk of leaks and future installation-related issues.

We handle everything, from removing the old system to fitting a new one. Our technicians will securely connect the garbage disposal to your plumbing and electrical system and then test it to ensure it operates correctly.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

Preventative maintenance goes a long way in keeping your disposal running smoothly. Our top recommendations are:

• Mind What You Grind: Avoid grinding hard or fibrous foods/materials like bones, eggshells, or vegetables such as celery sticks and corn husks in the disposal. These dull and damage the disposal blades.
• Use Cold Water: Always run cold water before, during, and after using your disposal. Cold water solidifies any grease or fats, allowing the disposal to chop them up before they can clog your pipes.
• Clean with Ice Cubes and Salt: Grinding ice cubes helps sharpen the blades. Salt, in this case, removes any built-up grease and debris from the disposal’s blades and walls, which keeps it clean and odor-free.
• Check for Leaks: Periodically check under your sink for any signs of leakage to prevent minor issues from becoming costly problems.

Pro Tip: Never insert your hands into the disposal if something becomes lodged in the blades. Shut off the disposal and use the supplied manufacturer’s tool to dislodge it, or consult your user manual for the correct resetting procedure. If you are unsure about fixing drains, contact Herrmann Services to disassemble the sink drainpipes and eliminate the blockage.
