A jammed or broken garbage disposal can lead to unpleasant smells, clogged drains, and disrupted kitchen cleanup. Whether your unit needs a quick repair or it’s time for a replacement, Crystal Water Plumbing provides reliable garbage disposal services to homeowners across Maryland and the D.C. Metro area.
Having Garbage Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are convenient, but when they stop working properly, they can cause big headaches. Here are some of the most common issues we handle:
- Jammed Blades: If your disposal hums but doesn't spin, debris or foreign objects may be blocking the blades.
- No Power or Failure to Start: This could be due to a tripped reset button, a faulty switch, or a burned-out motor.
- Leaks Under the Sink: Leaking disposals can result from cracked housings, bad seals, or loose connections.
- Slow Draining: A sluggish drain may mean your disposal is clogged or that food waste has built up in the pipes.
