Sometimes You Replace and Sometimes You Repair
Garbage disposals take the food that you put down the sink and grid it small so it can go through your pipes. Sometimes that process just doesn’t work as expected. This can lead to an ugly, frustrating mess.
Fortunately, you can contact our team at Greenville Plumbing Pros to set up a service appointment for garbage disposal installation and repairs in Easley, SC. Call 864-362-2955 to get the service you deserve.
My Garbage Disposal Has a Problem
Garbage disposals are designed to tackle demanding applications. Food and other small particles are supposed to be chopped up by your garbage disposal unit. However, putting certain types of food waste into the system can cause issues.
Garbage disposal clogs often occur when homeowners pour in:
- Meats
- Fats
- Grease
- Fibrous materials (like carrot peels)
Meat should never go in the disposal. It’s just too tough. Fats and grease can seem like liquid, but once they are cold they can create a solid mess that just sits in your pipes. This mess can grab on to everything that comes after it. Vegetable peels can wrap around the blades and get tangled up and stop the motor from running.
And definitely don’t try to get rid of trash through your grinding unit.
When to Get Help with Garbage Disposal Repairs
How do you know when you need service for a garbage disposal in Easley, SC? Contact a plumbing professional at any time the disposal:
- Stops running
- Begins leaking
- Starts making a lot of noise
- Emits strange smells
Garbage disposal problems and dishwasher problems can go hand in hand. If the disposal gets blocked it can push water into the dishwasher. This can then cause a leak. The experts at Greenville Plumbing Pros will make sure that your disposal isn’t creating problems for your dishwasher.

Extending the Life of Your Garbage Disposal
Make sure you know what is ending up in your disposal. Avoid greasy, fatty, gooey substances. Don’t put things you shouldn’t down your garbage disposal.
Running cold water while using the system is important. It also helps your unit last longer and helps organic matter to flow through. To clean your unit, mix some baking soda and vinegar together with hot water and send it down your drain.
When a problem arises with the unit, some homeowners choose to pour Liquid Plumr down the drain. We advise against doing so as it is unlikely to fix the underlying issue and may make matters worse.
Garbage Disposal Installation and Maintenance
In some cases, your system may just absolutely be broken. In this situation, a plumber can review the issue and provide you with a recommendation for either service or replacement. Normally, in these instances, it is easier to replace a dead unit.
An older unit may not be worth repairing. Instead, you can install a new unit that handles your needs. Our team installs new units and provides regular tune-up services to keep your new system in perfect working order.
