Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation
Garbage disposals can be a huge help around the kitchen, making tasks like washing dishes less time consuming. But if something gets lodged in the disposal, it can become quite the nuisance. Many concerns, including clogs and leaks, could disrupt other parts of the plumbing system. If you hear loud noises or notice a drop in performance from your disposal, professional expertise may be just what you need.
At Mark Allen, you can count on us to provide fast and effective garbage disposal services to keep kitchen plumbing flowing smoothly. If you’re considering garbage disposal repair in Bethel Park, let’s go ahead and figure out the details!
How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are designed to break down crumbs and similar leftovers before they can affect your plumbing system. Compact blades housed inside the disposal cut up debris into smaller pieces, making it easier for the drains and piping system to handle. The standard garbage disposal is energy efficient, requiring less water and electricity to function.
If something goes wrong, it’s frequently traced back to an electrical issue or improper use. The best way to protect your garbage disposal is to learn what it’s capable of breaking down. Mark Allen technicians find the root cause of the problem to ensure repairs offer lasting benefits.
1. The Disposal Won’t Start
To see if your disposal is unable to start, try hitting the reset button located on the unit. If the disposal still won’t start, it’s usually because of electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Wiring can be hazardous to inspect and repair, so we suggest leaving garbage disposal repair to skilled technicians.
2. The Motor Is Running, But the Blades Aren’t
If you’ve started the disposal but the blades fail to start spinning, it could be an electrical error, a problem with the motor, or another malfunction affecting the blades. To avoid injury, we check that the disposal is off before determining why the blades aren’t working.
Occasionally, a hard piece of food debris is stuck inside the disposal, grabbing the blades and preventing rotation. A disposal’s motor can spin the blades at speeds capable of injury, so keep hands and tools out of the disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
Evidence of a leak is a telltale sign there’s a problem with the disposal. As food waste solidifies and hardens, it may damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Localized water damage can also help you figure out there’s something wrong with the disposal. If you find mold or mildew close to drain, the garbage disposal may be to blame.
