Let a Professional Handle the Repair
Even if you often perform home repairs on your own, this job requires a professional. Garbage disposal issues can be tricky to diagnose, and the blades are sharp, so handling the unit can be dangerous without the right training. Attempting to repair your disposal without the proper tools and experience can result in further damage to the unit or injury.
Don’t risk it. Our technicians are highly trained and licensed professionals with the experience needed to deliver garbage disposal repair in Lancaster with the quality service you deserve. In addition to extensive training and experience, they are background-checked and drug-tested for your safety and peace of mind.
Solutions for Common Garbage Disposal Problems
When the garbage disposal breaks down, water and food particles can start backing up into your sink. Garbage disposals can stop working for a number of reasons. Our technicians are skilled at troubleshooting all types of problems.
We can help with any garbage disposal problems, such as:
- Clogged lines
- A jammed grinder
- Electrical connection problems
- Objects lodged in the disposal
We’ll inspect your garbage disposal and remove any objects that are jammed inside it or clear any clogs to get the disposal running again. If the garbage disposal is damaged beyond repair, we can replace it with a new unit. We always explain the work that’s needed and provide a free estimate before starting the job.
Avoiding Future Problems With Your Garbage Disposals
Some repair issues arise from misuse, improper care, or lack of maintenance. Many repairs can be prevented by avoiding overloading the unit with food scraps, keeping hard or fibrous foods out of the disposal, and following a few simple maintenance tips. While you should never try to repair your garbage disposal on your own, there are a few things you can do to optimize performance and the life of the unit.
You can keep your garbage disposal in good shape by:
- Running the water when you run the garbage disposal
- Using cold water
- Avoiding foods that can clog the unit, such as fat, grease, celery, corn stalks, and potato skins
- Keeping foreign objects out of the disposal
- Running ice in the disposal periodically to keep the blades sharp
- Grinding lemon peels to keep it smelling fresh
If your garbage disposal isn’t working, you can check to make sure the breaker hasn’t tripped and hit the reset button on the side of the unit to make sure it isn’t a simple fix. If that doesn’t work, get in touch with us for five-star service from a family-owned and -operated company that has served Lancaster, York, and surrounding counties since 1904.
