Garbage Disposal Repair/Replacement in Del Valle

Your #1 Professionals for Garbage Disposal Repairs or Replacement in Del Valle, Texas

Today, many homes have the convenience of garbage disposals in their kitchens, and while garbage disposals are not complicated machines, there may still come a time when you need help to repair or replace your disposal. When the time comes that you need a professional plumber, VB Plumbing of Del Valle will be here for you. There may also be situations, where you would like to attempt to resolve the situation on your own, and if that time comes, please remember to never put your hands into the disposal or drain due to the rotating blades that are used for grinding food.

Common Garbage Disposal Issues:

1. Overheating, which can result in the circuit breaker on the disposal tripping. If this circuit trips, it is an easy fix to press the RED reset button that is usually on the bottom of the disposal to fix the problem. If you still do not have power, the next step would be to check the actual breaker in your home, which will be in your large breaker box.

2. Jammed or clogged disposal that results in the blades not turning, food not being ground up, and usually accompanied by a "humming" noise coming from the disposal. If this occurs, DO NOT use your hand to try to dislodge the object in the disposal.

3. Leaks can occur at times, but they are usually in the pipes that connect to the disposal, as opposed to the disposal itself leaking. Ocassionally leaks in the actual disposal may occur due to sharp objects puncturing the disposal, which would require replacement with a new unit. Common leak areas around the disposal are the sink flange, and the dishwasher connection.

4. A foul smelling garbage disposal is usually due to worn blades on an older disposal. Over time blades become dull and do not grind food properly, resulting in pieces of food rotting in the disposal.

5. A slow draining garbage disposal usually means that there is some type of obstruction in the drain. DO NOT put your hand in the disposal to attempt to dislodge the object. It is better to try baking soda and vinegar, or some type of drain cleaner. If you are not successful then call your professional plumbers at VB Plumbing of Del Valle.
