Garbage Disposal Services in Cincinnati

When your disposal breaks down, an obstruction is often the culprit. If you make a habit of putting lots of grease and peels down the drain, it could block the pipe over time. Make sure you get your drain cleaned regularly as well!

Never use strong chemical drain cleaners to try to unclog your pipes. It can damage them and splash back into your eyes. Instead, let our local plumbing company work our way down the drain to get to the root of the problem and resolve it the right way.

If you need drain cleaning, we carry every tool needed to provide you with solutions. We even have snake-mounted cameras that look deep into the lines to spot a problem farther down.

Garbage disposal not working? Here are a few things you can do to resolve the problem on your own:

• Make sure the disposal is off. Then insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the disposal to see if the propelling blades are not stuck and can move freely. Carefully remove the foreign object that may be causing the blockage.
• It can also help to run the machine and put ice cubes or a bone (beef or pork) into the machine. Flush it well with water before and after.
• Try pressing the reset button at the bottom of the unit and making sure the circuit breaker has not been tripped. It sounds simple, but many people forget to do it.

Don’t be concerned about loud noises – this is a tough machine! If it is still stuck, call our Cincinnati plumbers. If your garbage disposal hums when you turn it on but does not move, it will shut itself off automatically.

Our garbage disposal repair specialists will check all parts carefully and make the right diagnosis. Most problems involve flywheels, seals, and hoses. We carry all the equipment needed to do the correct fix.

If yours is leaking, it is most likely a faulty seal. We can tighten and secure them in some cases, but leaks that penetrate the motor housing can be dangerous and may require garbage disposal replacement. Whatever the case may be, you can count on us to give you sound advice and honest pricing.
