A clogged kitchen sink drain can be swiftly caused by a jammed garbage disposal. Nothing can be done to get the sink draining again until the garbage disposal is repaired or replaced due to its inner workings and connectivity to the sink’s drainage system.
Here are some common signs you might need your garbage disposal repaired:
If you notice loud grinding, rattling, or humming sounds coming from your garbage disposal, it could be a sign of a mechanical issue. There may be a loose or damaged component that requires repair or replacement.
If your garbage disposal frequently gets clogged and is unable to efficiently grind and dispose of food waste, it could be an indication of a problem. This may be caused by dull blades, a jammed impeller, or an obstruction in the drain pipe, which may require repairs or cleaning.
Foul smells emanating from your garbage disposal even after cleaning it thoroughly could be a sign of hidden food particles trapped in the disposal or drain. This can lead to bacterial growth and unpleasant odors. Repairing or cleaning the disposal can help eliminate the issue.
If you notice water or any other liquid leaking from your garbage disposal unit, it’s a clear indication that there is a problem. Leaks can occur from damaged seals, loose connections, or cracks in the unit, and they should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.
If your garbage disposal fails to turn on or experiences intermittent power issues, there may be electrical problems or a malfunctioning switch that needs repair or replacement.
If your sink is slow to drain or water backs up into the sink when the garbage disposal is running, it suggests a partial or complete blockage in the disposal or the connecting pipes. This can hinder proper functionality and may require repairs or cleaning.

Cleaning your garbage disposal doesn’t have to be difficult. There are many simple methods for cleaning a garbage disposal. For instance, you can fill it with ice cubes, pour in a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar then turn on the disposal until all the ice cubes have been chewed up. Then run the water for a minute to rinse everything down the drain. Instead of the baking soda and vinegar concoctions, you could try a cup of lemon juice or a half cup of grease cutting dishwashing liquid.
Food scraps and kitchen grease can cause some nasty odors inside your disposal. A quick cleaning will eliminate most disposal odors. Try pouring a bowl full of ice cubes and a cup of lemon juice down the disposal and running it until the ice cubes are chewed up. Then rinse with water.
Yes, plumbers regularly install and replace garbage disposals. The Pipe Doctor provides this service. If you’d prefer to purchase your own garbage disposal, just have it ready for our plumber to install when they arrive. Otherwise, we will offer you our available options.
Garbage disposals are like any other appliance. Sometimes they’ll last a very long time and sometimes they fail after just a few years. In general terms, the average garbage disposal lasts ten years before a replacement in necessary.
