Let Electric Rooter take a look. We specialize in all things plumbing, including garbage disposal repair, installation, and replacement. So whether you need someone to take a look at a faulty garbage disposal, or you’d simply like to replace an old one, Electric Rooter has got you covered.

Signals of a malfunctioning garbage disposal

The garbage disposal might just be one of the most misused appliances in the home, so a lot more can go wrong with it than you think. A well-functioning garbage disposal can easily start to malfunction when exposed to large quantities of food and debris, or when exposed to certain types of food that should never go down a kitchen sink drain. Here are just a few things that might signal that it’s time for us to take a look at your garbage disposal:

• Foul odor emanating from your kitchen sink drain
• Kitchen sink water drains slowly
• Garbage disposal makes an unusual noise
• Garbage disposal hums but won’t operate properly
• Waste remains in the garbage disposal
• Water is leaking from the garbage disposal
• Garbage disposal is not responsive to “on” switch
