FAQs
What are common signs that my garbage disposal in Collegedale needs professional repair?
Typical signs include humming without grinding, frequent clogs, leaks beneath the sink or at the dishwasher connection, foul odors that persist after cleaning, and the need to hit the reset button repeatedly. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call our Mysterious Leaks Plumbing team before the problem worsens.
Why is water leaking from the bottom of my garbage disposal unit?
A leak at the bottom usually indicates a failed internal seal or a crack in the disposal housing. These components can’t be patched effectively and often require replacing the entire unit. Our technicians can confirm the source, help you choose a new disposal if needed, and handle a swift, code-compliant installation.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a jammed disposal?
No. Chemical drain cleaners can corrode metal parts, deteriorate rubber gaskets, and release harmful fumes. They rarely fix jams and may void your disposal’s warranty. Turn off the power at the breaker, try manually rotating the impellers with an Allen key in the bottom slot, and call our Collegedale experts if the unit still won’t run.
How long should a typical garbage disposal last in Collegedale homes?
With proper use—running cold water during operation, avoiding fibrous foods, and routine cleaning—a quality disposal lasts 8–12 years. Hard water mineral buildup, misuse, or neglect can shorten its lifespan. Our plumbers can advise on best practices and schedule annual checkups to keep yours running longer.
What can I do to prevent future leaks and jams?
Run cold water before, during, and after grinding; feed food scraps slowly; avoid coffee grounds, grease, and fibrous items like celery; and clean monthly with a mix of ice cubes, coarse salt, and citrus peels. Periodic professional inspections from Mysterious Leaks Plumbing ensure seals, connections, and hoses remain in top condition.
