Garbage Disposal Repair in Chicagoland

Your garbage disposal matters. When it works, it helps keep nasty smells out of your kitchen and improves your life. When it doesn’t, it is often the source of those nasty smells. When your garbage disposal stops working in Chicagoland you need expert repairs to prevent a minor issue from becoming a major emergency.

When to Call a Professional for Garbage Disposal Repair

Some things, like simple clogs, you may be able to fix yourself. However, for more serious issues you need an expert. If a garbage disposal problem is not fixed quickly it can result in plumbing issues, foul odors, and even health hazards. Here are some signs you might need expert help:

Persistent clogs. If your garbage disposal keeps clogging and you can’t get it declogged by using a plunger, hex wrench, or other devices, it’s time to get help. If waste is backing up or the disposal is draining slowly despite your efforts, call the experts.
Foul odors. A lingering smell coming from your disposal even after you have cleaned it or used baking soda is likely an indication of a plumbing problem.
Frequent jams. Your garbage disposal hums but doesn’t grind, and you have to keep resetting it to get it to work.
Leaks. Water is pooling under the sink or dripping from the disposal.
Poor performance. Your garbage disposal is not turning on at all. Or it does not appear to be actually grinding anything.

All of these are signs that you have a problem you probably can’t fix yourself. Attempting to fix a garbage disposal yourself can cause further damage or, worse, injury – the blades are sharp. Never put your hand in a garbage disposal!

Common Garbage Disposal Issues We Fix

If your garbage disposal is not working in Chicagoland, we can fix any common problems and get your disposal working again so you can continue to experience the convenience of a working garbage disposal.

Clogs & Backups

Some clogs can be fixed with a plunger or by inserting a hex wrench and turning it. When these simple DIY solutions fail, we can step in with the right gear to fix your garbage disposal, including cleaning and inspection and recommendations to avoid further clogs.

Motor & Blade Problems

Humming but not grinding, not actually destroying garbage, and other jams are clear indicators of a problem with the motor and/or the blades. We can diagnose and fix these issues quickly and easily and have replacement parts on hand as needed.

Leaking Disposals

Garbage disposals can leak from seals, connections, and cracks. When your garbage disposal is dripping water under your sink, we can come in and find the source of the leak, then perform any necessary repairs.

Electrical Issues

We can handle basic electrical issues, such as your garbage disposal not getting power or the switch not working. We can identify issues that cause frequent resets.

Odor Elimination

Sometimes eliminating a foul odor is as simple as giving your garbage disposal a deep clean. This not only fixes the source of the odor but also cleans out any germs. We can deep clean your garbage disposal as well as identify and fix other sources of unpleasant smells.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dylan was absolutely amazing with fixing our plumbing issues. He was back and fourth to my house a couple times and explained everything so detailed to us even. I would 100 percent recommend him to ANYONE. Debbie and the night receptionist (I dont know her name) were great to deal with too. I did have a problem though with their manager Chris who was supposed to call us back multiple times and never did until I called continously who when I finally got ahold of him was pretty short with his answers and I seemed like I was a bother to speak to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen came out to fix my garbage disposal today. He was very prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. I thought for sure, it was going to have to be replaced. In no time he had it up and running, no problem. I asked about the leaking, so he tried every which way to get it to leak, with no success. He tightened a couple of things just in case. I will definitely call again, if needed!
