Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs

Why did my garbage disposal suddenly stop working?

Most disposal failures happen gradually, then seem sudden when they finally quit completely.

Common causes include worn motor bearings, electrical connections that have loosened over time, or internal components that have reached the end of their useful life. Sometimes what appears to be a complete failure is actually a simple jam or tripped reset button that we can fix quickly.

Should I try to repair my garbage disposal myself or call a professional?

While you can safely try the reset button and check for obvious jams, most repairs require professional attention to avoid injury or damage.

Garbage disposals combine electrical components with sharp metal parts, making DIY repairs risky for homeowners. Professional diagnosis often reveals whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense, and we can explain your options clearly before any work begins.

How do I know if my disposal needs repair or complete replacement?

Age, repair history, and the extent of current problems help determine the best path forward.

Disposals typically last 8-12 years with regular use. If yours is newer and having its first major problem, repair usually makes sense. However, units over 10 years old with multiple recent issues often benefit from replacement, especially when you factor in improved efficiency and reliability of newer models.

What's causing the bad smell coming from my kitchen sink?

Food particles and grease buildup create odors that seem to come from the disposal but often originate in connected drain lines.

Our professional drain cleaning services remove the organic matter causing these smells, while proper disposal maintenance prevents future odor problems. In Salt Lake City and surrounding areas, we see this issue frequently during warmer months when bacteria growth accelerates.

Why does water back up in my sink when I run the disposal?

Water backing up usually indicates a clog in the drain line beyond the disposal unit itself.

The disposal may be working fine, but food particles and grease have created a blockage downstream that prevents proper drainage. This often requires professional drain cleaning rather than disposal repair, though we always check both systems to ensure everything works together properly.

Can you fix garbage disposals in older homes with different plumbing systems?

Yes, we regularly service disposals in homes throughout Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, and other established neighborhoods with varying plumbing configurations.

Older homes sometimes have unique challenges like non-standard connections or electrical setups, but our experience with diverse plumbing systems means we can adapt repairs to work with your existing setup. We'll explain any limitations upfront and suggest the best solution for your specific situation.
