A garbage disposal unit is usually located under the kitchen sink. It is a valuable tool for dealing with kitchen waste. It grinds food scraps into smaller bits, helping prevent clogs in the drain and reducing the garbage sent to landfills. However, if your garbage disposal breaks, it can disrupt your kitchen routine, create unpleasant smells, and lead to plumbing issues.
Fixing a garbage disposal not working can be frustrating, especially if you’re unsure what the problem is. That’s when you can count on Elite Plumbing Pros. In Riverside County, you can expect fast and dependable waste management services. This includes repairs, replacements, and setups. Whether for your home or business, their services help things run well. Trust them to care for your worries and ensure everything works properly.
Understanding Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Ordinary garbage disposal issues include garbage disposal humming, garbage disposal clogged, and leaks at the bottom of the garbage disposal. It’s essential to find out what is causing the problem. This helps you decide on the best solution, whether a quick fix or replacing the entire disposal unit.
The Challenge of Persistent Jams and Clogs
One big problem with garbage disposals is that they can get jammed and clogged drains due to an obstruction, including a drain clog. This often happens when food scraps, coffee grounds, grease, eggshells, and other waste build up over time. When the drain and discharge pipes are clogged, the garbage disposal won’t work correctly, leading to slow draining, bad smells, and even backups.
Another reason for jams is putting the wrong things in the garbage disposal. Don’t add large bones, fibrous veggies, or starchy foods like potato or banana peels. When these things cause a blockage and get caught in the blades or motor at the bottom, they jam. To fix it, you may need to use an Allen wrench or a garbage disposal wrench to remove the stuck items.
To prevent the garbage disposal from being blocked, run cold water regularly before and avoid using hot water before, during, and after use. This helps to keep it from rusting. The cold water makes grease, fat, and food scraps hard. It helps to break them into smaller bits so they can quickly go down the disposal and drain.
Dealing with Unusual Noises and Leaks
Strange noises, leaks, and clogs mean there are problems with your garbage disposal. If you hear grinding sounds or humming, or if the motor hums when you flip the switch, this may happen because tough food is stuck inside, and you might need to use pliers to help retrieve it. Regular garbage disposal maintenance can be beneficial to avoid further issues. Problems could be worn-out bearings, a loose blade, a motor issue, or a jammed flywheel. A wooden spoon handle can help unstick it.
Leaks usually occur at the bottom of the unit, including the bottom of the sink. This often happens due to issues with the garbage disposal appliance, such as a worn seal, cracked disposal, or a loose mounting flange at the sink drain opening. If you see a leaking garbage disposal, like water pooling under the sink, turn off the power at the primary source. Then, fix the leak fast to prevent more damage.
You can take some steps to fix annoying leaks and strange noises. First, use a screwdriver to tighten any loose connections. If parts, including the cover plate are old, you should replace them. At times, replacing the entire garbage disposal is the best choice.

Step-by-Step Diagnostic and Repair Procedures
Our technicians know how to find and fix jammed garbage disposal problems. We begin by checking your unit and asking about any issues you’ve faced. This helps us identify the main problem and choose the best repair method.
After we find the problem, we will explain how to fix it in plain language. We will go through the steps and answer any questions you have. We will keep you informed. It could be a simple fix, like clearing the drain pipe. Or, it might be a hard repair, like replacing the impeller blades.
While we work on repairs, we will keep your kitchen clean. We will put down drop cloths to cover the area around the disposal and immediately clean up any spills or messes.
Seamless Installation with Attention to Detail
When we install a new garbage disposal, we pay close attention to details, including the power cord wiring and circuit breaker connections. This helps us get the job done well and ensures its longevity. We will remove your old unit and throw it away correctly. Then, we will install the new garbage disposal following the provided steps.
Our technicians will ensure that all connections are safe and secure. They will use a plumber’s putty to seal the garbage disposal flange to the sink’s drain hole. They will remove any old putty first before applying a new layer. After they install it, they will plug the disposal back in to check for a watertight seal. If you have a dishwasher, we will connect it to the new unit and check for leaks.
Before we go, we will check the garbage disposal to ensure it works well and teach you how to use it correctly to make you happy.
