Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Disposal Won’t Turn On

When your garbage disposal doesn’t respond when you flip the switch, it could be due to electrical issues, a tripped circuit breaker, or a faulty wall switch. Our technicians will thoroughly inspect the power connections, reset buttons, and wiring to get your disposal running again.

Humming But Not Grinding

If your disposal hums but doesn’t grind, the impeller or flywheel is likely jammed. This common issue can potentially damage your disposal’s motor if not addressed promptly. Our experts can safely dislodge obstructions and restore proper function without risking damage to your unit.

Leaking Disposal

Leaks can occur from several areas of your garbage disposal, including:

  • The sink flange connection at the top
  • The dishwasher connection hose
  • The discharge pipe
  • The bottom of the unit itself

Our technicians will identify the exact source of the leak and provide appropriate repairs, whether it’s tightening connections, replacing gaskets, or resealing the mounting assembly.

Slow Draining or Clogged Disposal

When your disposal drains slowly or backs up, it typically indicates a clog in the drain line. Our professionals will disassemble the drain trap and discharge pipe to remove obstructions and ensure proper water flow through your plumbing system.

Our Garbage Disposal Repair Process

At Plumbing Express, we follow a systematic approach to garbage disposal repair:

  1. Thorough Diagnosis: We begin by carefully examining your disposal unit to identify the specific issue causing the malfunction.
  2. Clear Explanation: Our technicians will explain the problem in easy-to-understand terms and present you with repair options.
  3. Professional Repair: Using specialized tools and techniques, we’ll repair your disposal safely and effectively.
  4. Quality Testing: After repairs are complete, we thoroughly test the unit to ensure it’s functioning properly and free from leaks.
  5. Maintenance Tips: We’ll provide advice on proper disposal use and maintenance to prevent future issues.

When Repair Isn't Enough: Garbage Disposal Replacement

Sometimes, a disposal is beyond repair or too old to function efficiently. If replacement is necessary, our technicians can help you select the right model for your home and handle the installation professionally. We’ll:

  • Safely disconnect and remove your old unit
  • Properly install the new disposal
  • Connect all electrical components correctly
  • Ensure proper sealing at all connection points
  • Test for leaks and proper operation
  • Dispose of your old unit according to local regulations

This was my second time using Plumbing Express. Once again, I had an excellent experience with Dylan

Very professional Got the job done quickly

Anthony came to my house for an ongoing problem of extremely high water bills. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. Anthony has a pleasant attitude and provided great service with professionalism and care for my home and property.

google

Everything about my experience was A++ service. From the friendly receptionist who took our call and let us know available times to Dylan who was friendly, knowledgeable and extremely professional. He helped fix everything and left it better than ever. Great Atlanta plumber team. You will not be disappointed!

My issue was a water heater being a great distance from my kitchen sink causing water waste as I waited for hot water to reach the kitchen. Daniel was very familiar with the issue. In a very brief time, he installed a recirculating pump on my water heater and a sensor valve at my sink. I now have instant hot water where I need it. Express plumbing was very responsive to my call, arrived promptly, and Daniel did an exceptional installation job. Express Plumbing can be proud to have an employee like Daniel representing them.

Very nice experience working with Plumbing Express, particularly with Tim Robinson who complete the job as expected. He listened and understood my concerns and try to address them as close as possible. Very nice work. Thanks guys.

google

Rod was courteous and focused. He had the situation sized up and solved by the time I got out to the meter-box to greet him. I was impressed with his talent for deduction and followed his train of thought in trouble shooting the problem. There was no leak after the watermeter and the watermeter worked fine. The evidence was subtle but it was there. Water wasn't leaking out of the box it was leaking in by the direction of the mud residue build-up. Thanks again Rod!

google

Rod was fantastic!

google

Tim did a great job installing our bathroom sink!

google

Great, quick, and thorough service!

We had water pressure and water temperature issues, which turned out to be caused by a failing pressure regulator valve and a failed valve in a crossover recirculator. Anthony diagnosed and replaced both, repaired a pinhole leak in a copper pipe near the PRV, and did the annual service on our tankless heater, all in less than 3 1/2 hours including a 45 minute trip to pick up the correct PRV for our system. He is always fast, efficient and knowledgeable, and willing to answer all our questions.

google

Daniel did a great job with the tankless installation, educating us on the new unit, and was very professional. Happy to have hot water once again. Thank you.

Rod was awesome.

Rob came in and was friendly and completed the toilet repair quickly and professionally.

Fantastic, trustworthy and reliable Plumber. Highly recommend. Daniel was awesome. Hard to recommend any other plumbing business in Atlanta! These guys are honest and don’t nickel and dime you for everything.

We had a pool of water forming in our front yard, so we scheduled an appointment with Plumbing Express and they quickly sent Daniel to come diagnose the issue. When he arrived, he let me know what the potential issues were and gave me a very detailed breakdown of the costs and work involved, from best to worst case scenario. He was able to break things down in a way that I could easily understand, and I could tell that he was being honest with me which gave me the confidence to hire him to work on the issue. He quickly found the leak, showed me, and I immediately agreed to have him fix the pipe. Within an hour or so he had the leak fixed and filled the area he had to dig up, all while it was so cold it actually began to snow a little bit. I could not ask for better service and will happily go with Plumbing Express in the future for any plumbing needs.

google

Rod was very professional, courteous, and quick. I've also used Plumbing Express in the past and was happy with the service.

google

Tim was great. Took the time to explain what he was doing and break down everything that needed to be done.

google

I requested Dylan because he had previously came to our house to diagnose what was wrong with our Renni tankless water heater. He always explains what is wrong and what needs to be done to fix what's wrong. Dylan this a highly talented plumber.

They say, “you won’t know what someone is made of until you see them navigate problems and mistakes.” The install team were incredibly professional and courteous. They did unfortunately have a couple of big missteps, but they and their boss Ty handled it the way great companies do. They listened apologetically and made it right!! Ty acted honorably to make things right and Lucio, Joe, Ben and Rad did a tremendous job replumbing the house in just one day to bypass the leak under the slab. Grateful for their hard work and will certainly recommend to my friends and family!

After suffering a second leak under our slab and getting quotes from various plumbers, we decided to have our house repiped through the attic. Ed came by from Plumbing Express and I was convinced that they were the right company. Not only was their bid competitive with the other plumbers, but they also provided better insulation for the pipes and turnkey drywall repair and paint. The plumbing crew were polite and professional and kept the work areas clean. They kept the damage and the dust down to a minimum which was a pleasant surprise. After they completed the job, Flaniel repaired and painted the walls like new with no signs of patching. He was super clean and even mopped the floors before he left. I also want to give a shout out to Ivan in the office who orchestrated everything. Finally, I can say without a doubt, that if you have plumbing issues, Plumbing Express is the one to call.

Anthony is very professional and polite. He installed plumbing during reno for the master bath, basement bath and new kitchenette. Highly recommend.

Had a leaking pipe around the hot water heater and another one showing alot of corrosion from calcium buildup. I needed these pipes repaired before they become a bigger problem. I have used Plumbing Express in the past and had great results so I called them again and got great results from their service on repairing these pipes and quick and efficient service. Dylan was great and very efficient and knowledgeable about what repairs needed to be done. I will definitely use Plumbing Express and ask for Dylan when I have any plumbing problems in the future!
