Garbage Disposals

• Chicken or steak bones
• Nuts
• Fruit or avocado pits
• A sticky overload of rice or pasta

We can repair the garbage disposal in your Dallas-Fort Worth home as long as it’s functional—still has power, sharp blades, and doesn’t leak. There’s every chance your disposal got clogged by fibrous food waste, food items that have a tendency to create a thick paste if left too long without grinding, or a fork or spoon that got wedged in the disposal blades.

One obvious indication that a homeowner in Dallas-Fort Worth needs to replace or repair their garbage disposal is because it simply won’t fire up when they flip the wall switch. But other indications only become noticeable over time:

• Strange noises when it’s operating
• Water leaks
• Lingering odors
• Persistent clogging
• Frequent need to push the reset button

Most homes are equipped with a garbage disposal, and recent environmental studies have identified the importance of maintaining a disposal. Food waste is the most common material we put in our landfills, and when it rots, that waste emits methane (a highly toxic greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere. Grinding the food waste alleviates that process.
