Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Repairing or Replaced
Your sink may hide your garbage disposal, but luckily malfunctions and failures are easy to detect. You probably encounter these issues with your garbage disposal daily. The common signs of a damaged or broken garbage disposal are:
Does your garbage disposal continually clog up no matter how carefully you treat it? Frequent clogging is a tell-tale sign that your garbage disposal is weakening or broken. You’ll need to call a professional plumber to look at what’s wrong.
If you find yourself pushing the reset button for your garbage disposal an unreasonable amount of times, it's probably because the motor is dying.
If you catch the smell of your disposed materials lingering in the air, it may be due to a broken garbage disposal trapping the odor inside.
If your garbage disposal makes an unusually grinding, harsh, or loud sound when you turn it on, that’s usually a sign that it’s loose or broken.
Is it taking longer to grind down food than it should? If so, the garbage disposal blades have probably become too blunt to function anymore.
Items To Avoid Putting Down Your Garbage Disposal
- Coffee Grounds: They can accumulate and form a sediment-like layer in the pipes.
- Eggshells: The membrane layers can wrap around the disposal’s blades and the shell fragments can create pipe blockages.
- Grease, Oils, and Fats: These can solidify in pipes, causing clogs.
- Potato Peels: Starchy materials can clump together and form clogs.
- Pasta and Rice: They can expand with water and create blockages.
- Bones and Seafood Shells: These are too hard and can damage the disposal blades or motor.
- Celery and Other Fibrous Vegetables: Fibers can tangle around the disposal’s blades.
- Fruit Pits and Seeds: Hard pits can damage the disposal blades.
- Non-food items: Including paper, plastic, or metal, which can damage the disposal system.
- Onion Layers: Thin membranes can wrap around the blades.
- Artichokes and Corn Husks: Highly fibrous and can jam the disposal.
- Paint: Can harden inside plumbing.
- Medications: They don’t damage the disposal but can contaminate water supplies.
- Expandable Foods: Like bread or flour, which can swell and create blockages.
- Harsh Chemicals: They can corrode disposal parts and are harmful to plumbing systems.
When To Call A Plumber?
A garbage disposal is a complex appliance that integrates with both your electrical and plumbing systems, presenting multiple points where issues might arise necessitating expert repair or replacement. Over time, the blades within the disposal can become blunt, leading to inefficient food breakdown. This inefficiency can cause obstructions or overflows in your plumbing system. Electrical problems, such as a tripped circuit or wiring damage, can disrupt the power supply to the unit, resulting in inconsistent operation or complete failure, which would need prompt attention. Additionally, any leaks or damages to the pipes connected to your disposal’s drain must be addressed immediately to ensure the system’s functionality and prevent water damage.

The technician/plumber came by to determine what was needed to replace our water heater which was leaking. He gave what I think was a fair price to replace our heater and install the new one. We determined a date and time for the replacement which was accomplished to my satisfaction. We have found a plumbing company (Redfin) that I would be more than happy to recommend to my friends.
Our plumber, Ulie was great. Also our Customer Service representative was great too. I would highly recommend using Redfin.
Thomas was fantastic. Very polite, punctual and fixed both issues we were having. Redfin was honest and up front with pricing and continuing to help with other issues found during the repair process. We will definitely use them again when and if needed
We’ve used Redfin twice for plumbing issues at our home and they have been wonderful to work with each time. After the recent winter storm they were honest, upfront, and communicated well to get our issues fixed. The staff is awesome and the work is top notch. We will continue to call Redfin for our plumbing needs!
Redfin is amazing, they came out the same day I had called them to give me a free consultation as well as repaired what ever I needed! They did everything in a timely manner and was extremely professional. I would 100% recommend them to anyone that needs their plumbing work done!
Had an awesome experience with Redfin! They had everything they needed and was able to repair my heater with one stop. Very knowledgeable and professional.
Great company to work with. Did what they said they were going to do, on time, very professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable plumbing company. They installed a water heater, repaired a line and installed emergency turn off valves.
Redfiin installed an exterior natural gas line to our outdoor generator. The work by Eddie was very professional, and the folks at Redfin were easy to work with for scheduling an estimate and the work itself. Maybe not the cheapest out there, but it’s worth the extra to make sure it’s done right. Would work with them again!
Eddie was very professional. He identified and fixed my problem quickly and did a good job explaining to me the root cause of the issue and how to avoid it again in the future. I would definitely recommend and use him again.
Thomas was extremely polite and professional. He took care of a really messy pipe clog for me! Also they had a great special on unclogging drain pipes. Highly recommend this company.
Had them install a new composite granite kitchen sink, disposal, and faucet. Very professional and fully informed me of all potential issues and costs prior to any work starting. Eddy and Thomas were both very professional in their trade skills and their actions. I would definitely use Redfin Plumbing again.
These guys are great! They took care of our hot water heater after the freeze. They are quick, professional, on-time, and reliable. Recommend.
Great people and great service at Red Fin Plumbing. They were very honest with the work that needed to be done. I highly recommend them. Great experience all around.
David and his team did an awesome job repiping my home after the Houston freeze. He was always on time and took the time to explain everything he was doing. Kenda, who works in the office, was beyond professional and always responded to my calls and emails quickly. I would highly recommend Redfin for all your plumbing needs. Hats off to Redfin!!
