Your garbage disposal, despite being such a useful convenience, is actually one of the most misused appliances in the entire house. Very few people understand that a garbage disposal is designed to handle light food residue that has been washed from a plate, not entire chunks of leftover food scraps. After heavy usage, even the most stalwart of garbage disposals may require serious repairs.

Repair

If you use your garbage disposal for heavy usage and large chunks of food, chances are quite high that you may require garbage disposal repair within a matter of months following a successful installation. There are quite a few different issues that could warrant repairs when it comes to a garbage disposal. For instance, if you hear a humming noise but the disposal does not function as it should, a simple fix may be required. Depending on the severity of the problem internally, you may be required to call in a professional repairman to handle the situation. This means pulling apart the entire system, including the pipes, to fix the issue, whatever it may be.

Expert Tips
- Rick Jurzyk
When it comes to garbage disposal repair, prevention is key. Avoid overloading your disposal with large amounts of food waste at once. Instead, feed it gradually to prevent clogs and strain on the motor. Remember to always run cold water while using the disposal to help flush away debris. If you encounter a jam, never stick your hand inside! Instead, use a long-handled tool or call a professional like us in New Haven & Fairfield Counties to safely resolve the issue.
