Garbage Disposal Installation & Replacement

A faulty garbage disposal can be a huge headache, especially when it stops working when you’ve got a sink full of leftovers. Many homeowners face issues with their garbage disposals, and sometimes, it’s hard to tell if you need a quick fix or a total replacement. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we’re here to help make things a little easier for you. Keep reading to find out what might be wrong, how to prevent future problems, and why upgrading your disposal could be the best decision you make for your kitchen.

When Is It Time to Call for Help?

You might notice a strange smell, hear unusual sounds, or find that it’s not grinding food as efficiently as it used to. But when exactly should you call in a professional for a repair or replacement? If your garbage disposal jams frequently, leaks, or makes a loud, metal-on-metal noise, it’s time to take action. And if you’ve already reset it and checked for clogs, but it’s still giving you trouble, you might need more than a DIY solution. In some cases, a garbage disposal replacement in Hendersonville could help you avoid further problems.

Don’t wait too long, as ongoing issues can potentially damage other parts of your kitchen plumbing. A proper garbage disposal repair or replacement could be in order. Also, if your unit is over ten years old and constantly needs repairs, it might be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it.

How to Keep Your Garbage Disposal Happy

We’re all guilty of tossing a bit of everything down the disposal, but not all of it belongs there. Taking care of your disposal is surprisingly simple, and just a few mindful habits can make a big difference in how long it lasts. First, always run cold water when you’re using the disposal. Cold water helps solidify any fats or oils so they can be chopped up instead of clogging your pipes. A little dish soap while running it can keep things clean and fresh-smelling. Also, if you’re dumping huge quantities of food scraps all at once, it can overwhelm the blades. Instead, feed it slowly to give it time to grind things up properly. Grinding up a few ice cubes every now and then can help sharpen the blades and remove any buildup.

Most of us don’t spend much time thinking about what we throw down our garbage disposal. But not everything is meant for those spinning blades, and using it incorrectly can lead to clogs, breakdowns, or even the need for a new garbage disposal installation. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s not okay:

  • Grease and oil
  • Fibrous veggies like celery or corn husks
  • Eggshells
  • Bones or seafood shells
  • Pasta or rice

Is It Time to Upgrade? 

If your garbage disposal is showing its age or you’re finding that it just doesn’t cut it anymore, upgrading to a high-powered model could help. Today’s disposals are quieter, more efficient, and can handle tougher food scraps than older models. Newer units are also designed with energy-saving features that can lower your utility bills over time. You might not realize how much convenience a new disposal can bring until you have one. A garbage disposal installer in Hendersonville can make sure that everything is up to code and working perfectly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that I need a new toilet? 

If your toilet constantly runs, leaks, or clogs, it might be time for a replacement. Newer models are also much more water-efficient, so upgrading could save you money on your water bill. If you’re unsure, a plumber can help assess whether a repair or replacement is best.

Why is my garbage disposal jammed? 

Garbage disposals can get jammed if something hard or non-food items like silverware or bones get stuck in them. Turn off the disposal before trying to clear the jam, and never use your hands to remove the blockage. If you can’t fix it, a plumber can help.

What is a sump pump, and do I need one? 

A sump pump helps prevent flooding in basements by collecting and redirecting water away from your home. If you live in an area that’s prone to heavy rain or flooding, or if you’ve had water issues in your basement before, a sump pump can be a valuable addition.

How can I conserve water with my plumbing system? 

Installing water-efficient fixtures, fixing leaks promptly, and being mindful of water usage are all great ways to conserve water. You can also consider upgrading to a low-flow toilet or faucet to reduce water consumption.

Why does my drain smell bad? 

A smelly drain is often caused by a buildup of debris like food or grease, which can create bacteria and odors. In some cases, it could also be a sewer issue. Cleaning the drain or calling a plumber can usually take care of the smell.
