Recognizing Common Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Attention
A functioning garbage disposal is essential to keeping your home and pipes clean. If issues arise with your unit, it could not only impact meal preparation and cleanup but also your health. Often, it can be tricky to know when your system is in need of repair or replacement. Early detection and prompt attention to garbage disposal problems can prevent expensive repairs and premature replacement.
It’s a good idea to call for professional assistance whenever you experience the following issues with your garbage disposal:
Your unit is leaking
Your system is making strange noises
You need to press the reset button frequently
Your unit experiences inexplicable clogs
Your disposal system refuses to turn on
You can’t eliminate drain odors
Your system takes too long to break down food
While some garbage disposal issues will be resolvable through repair, others will require a full replacement. Our plumbers will be able to identify the source of the problem and advise you on the best course of action.
How to Choose the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Home
When the time comes to replace your garbage disposal, you’ll want to make sure that you select the system that’s best for you. There are several factors to consider when choosing a new disposal system. First, you will need to decide between a continuous feed and a batch feed system. The continuous feed system is the most common and easiest to use, having an open mouth and being operated by an on/off switch. However, those who are prone to dropping non-food related items down the sink (like silverware) may prefer a batch feed unit, which involves placing waste into a chamber and closing the stopper lid to activate the grinder inside.
Additional factors to consider when choosing a garbage disposal include:
Motor size
Blade quality
Grinder chamber size
Noise-reduction ability
Enzyme reservoirs

"All of his work was first rate and left the work area completely clean and ready for us to use"
Brad, our plumber, worked to figure out a way to make an existing plumbing setup work with a new application (sink and faucet). His diligence saved us several hundred dollars in not having to re-engineer drains. All of his work was first rate and left the work area completely clean and ready for us to use. Five Stars.

"He explained what needed to be fixed and why."
Amy Plumbing responded to my inquiry immediately. They scheduled same day service for my plumbing issue. Once Brad arrived, he explained what needed to be fixed and why. He broke down the cost of what needed to be repaired and explained what he was doing throughout the process. Brad was professional, courteous and respectful of my home. I was impressed with the entire experience and would recommend them.

"This past week was kind of a doozie, but all three employees that came through to deal with it were awesome!"
We've used Amy for two fairly major plumbing jobs over the past few years. This past week was kind of a doozie, but all three employees that came through to deal with it were awesome! They tried so hard to fix it with the least amount of damage to our walls, even going out and buying a tool to try to make it work. All three were polite, courteous and professional. We will definitely be coming back for future home needs. Thank you!!!

"Tim was very good at telling us what the problem was, how he would fix it and how to prevent this in the future"
Tim was very good at telling us what the problem was, how he would fix it and how to prevent this in the future. He installed a new outside faucet and explained how to shut off the water flow in the fall to prevent water from entering the faucet and freezing.
