A garbage disposal is usually a sturdy work of engineering that can last for well over a decade. Generally, after about ten to twelve years of service, the garbage disposal will have to be expired and replaced. Which brings us to a question: What other times is it necessary to replace the unit? Mr. Rooter Plumbing knows a thing or two about garbage disposal replacements and we are here to help. In this article, we’ll review some signs that indicate it is probably time to get a garbage disposal replaced. If you have any questions or conces, feel free to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey for help.
It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.
Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.
Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.
I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.
I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.
A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.
You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!
Abnormal Noises
It makes sense for a garbage disposal to make noises if there is, for example, a piece of silverware stuck in the unit. In such a case, you will have to remove the object by reaching into the unit (make sure the unit is powered off and unplugged!). If there is nothing blocking the blades, the garbage disposal’s own components might be making the sounds. You might be able to make an adjustment if the parts are misaligned and making grinding sounds, but a replacement is also a possibility.
Constant Clogging
A garbage disposal is designed to act against clogs, so it is completely reasonable to be frustrated if the unit is constantly clogging. In fact, constant clogging is a strong sign that the garbage disposal should be replaced. This problem indicates that either the blades are dull or the unit is far undersized for your household’s needs. Mr. Rooter Plumbing is happy to help you determine the right size garbage disposal for your household.
Water Leaks
There is going to be a lot of water running through your garbage disposal and a leak is almost inevitable. You don’t always have to panic when you notice a leak, however. Generally, leaks around the top of the unit are not so severe and can be resolved by replacing a damaged flange or putty seal. The leaks that appear at the bottom of the unit are the ones that strike fear. Those leaks point to a problem with the actual unit itself. There are repair options, but it’s usually more cost-effective to replace the unit.
Not Tuing On
The most obvious sign that you need a replacement is a garbage disposal that won’t tu on. But wait! We have some troubleshooting tips:
If these troubleshooting methods do not get the unit running again, then you might want to call nearby plumbers to replace the unit because it is likely that the electrical components of the unit are damaged.
