Is your garbage disposal making strange noises? If so, it may be time to call the experts at Poo Bear Plumbing for a replacement. We can make simple repairs or install a new disposal for you today. A garbage disposal is only expected to last between 10 and 12 years, so replacing it will eventually be necessary.

So, what are some common garbage disposal issues and what are the professional solutions? If your disposal doesn’t turn on we can determine why, reset the disposal and check the circuit breaker. If the motor no longer works, we can replace the disposal. Sometimes a disposal will become jammed with food or other items. We can clear those and advise as to what not to be putting down your disposal.

If you’re hearing noises like clicking and whirring your motor may need to be replaced or we may need to tighten the bearings, lugs, or blades. If you’re hearing a humming noise when you flip on the disposal, there may be a clog, which will need to be removed. If the disposal is leaking, it probably needs to be replaced.

We stock and install a complete line of disposal models, and we’re also happy to install any other brand you may wish to purchase. We’ll make sure it’s properly installed, that it doesn’t leak, and that it is centered and balanced correctly.
