When your garbage disposal is working perfectly, it’s easy to forget how important it is for your kitchen’s cleanliness and convenience. But once it jams, clogs, or starts making weird grinding noises, things can go wrong quickly.

That’s why we provide reliable, affordable, and prompt services that restore order to your kitchen sink quickly. Whether you need garbage disposal repair, installation, or emergency service, we’ve got you covered with expertise and top-notch care.
Why a Reliable Garbage Disposal System Matters
A garbage disposal isn’t just a kitchen convenience; it’s a hygiene essential. This under-the-sink helper breaks down food scraps, prevents foul waste buildup, and reduces strain on your pipes. But without proper maintenance, even the best disposals can malfunction.
If your sink disposal is leaking, making unusual noises, or emitting foul odors, it’s time for professional help. In both homes and restaurants, these issues don’t just cause stress; they can bring your routine or business operations to a halt. That’s why investing in professional disposal care is always a smart choice.
Common Garbage Disposal Problems (and What Causes Them)
Most people don’t think twice before sending scraps down the disposal. But not everything belongs there. Coffee grounds, stringy vegetables, bones, or grease can damage blades or clog drains.
Here are the most common garbage disposal problems:
- Jammed Blades – Usually caused by hard items like bones or fruit pits.
- Leaking Units – Often due to old seals or worn-out plumbing connections.
- No Power – Could be an electrical issue or a reset button failure.
- Slow Draining – Usually the result of grease buildup or improper food waste.
When these problems occur, it’s best not to rely on DIY YouTube fixes. Instead, call a qualified technician for safe and effective repair.

Preventive Maintenance Tips for Your Disposal Unit
Want your garbage disposal to last longer? A little care goes a long way. Here are some simple tips:
- Run cold water – Always run cold water while using the disposal to prevent grease from hardening.
- Clean with ice and citrus – Grinding ice cubes and lemon peels helps clean blades and remove odors.
- Avoid stringy foods – Don’t put celery, onion skins, or corn husks in the disposal they tangle the blades.
- Check for leaks – Regularly inspect under the sink for water leaks.
Routine maintenance can save you hundreds in future repairs, and we also offer maintenance plans to keep your kitchen running smoothly.
