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.

Real reviews from your neighbors

Karen Helsel

We found Crystal Water Plumbing when our well pump stopped working. They came out, diagnosed and gave us an estimate, and then repaired the two-fold problem (both the pressure switch and the pump itself had failed) within the day. They also noticed other items, and quickly addressed all of the issues, and now we have a well that should give us decades of worry-free service.
