Does the garbage disposal in your kitchen have you perplexed and scratching your head? This kitchen appliance can run perfectly well one minute and refuse to turn on the next. Usually. it stops performing right before a holiday event or after a long day when the last thing you want to do is deal with a broken down appliance. If your trusty garbage disposal has gone on strike, call Whitney Plumbing Pros. We have a team of proficient, highly qualified plumbers that are available around the clock to troubleshoot, answer your questions, and deliver fast, friendly, and effective garbage disposal repair and replacement services on demand.

Let’s Talk about Common Garbage Disposal Problems

While you may be confused about what is happening with your disposal, our technicians have seen it all. Garbage disposal problems usually fall into one of two categories: mechanical failure and human error.

Mechanical failure can occur when there is something wrong with the power supply such as a faulty switch or a problem with the electrical system. A dead motor can also be considered mechanical failure, especially with older disposals. This kitchen appliance is not built to last forever. After the five year mark, it isn’t unusual for the motor to start causing problems.

Human error accounts for a number of our service calls. Many problems with household disposals in Whitney, NV, can be linked to misuse and human error. This is because most people don’t really know the dos and don’ts of operating a disposal. Leaky seals, seeping housing units, immovable blades, and units that won’t turn on can be caused by overfilling the disposal, jammed propellers, amateur installation, and a number of other reasons that are actually quite preventable.

Whatever the reason may be for your disposal’s sudden work stoppage, our licensed and insured plumbing contractors have the equipment and skill to make lasting repairs. Our contractors will also explain how to use the disposal so that you won’t have problems in the future.

How Do I Know If I Need a New Disposal?

We get this question a lot. Many of the service calls we send our contractors on are straightforward. Repairs are easily made at reasonable prices and that’s the end of your worries.
