Garbage Disposal Repair
A backed-up garbage disposal can create a serious health hazard for your home.
Often taken for granted, the garbage disposal is one of the more malfunction-prone elements in your house’s plumbing system. With a powerful motor capable of tearing food items to shreds, garbage disposals are very convenient. However, when improperly used or maintained, garbage disposals can back-up and create a serious health hazard for your home. With its sharp grinder blades and complicated draining system, garbage disposal repairs can be intricate, complex, and occasionally dangerous.
Because a range of factors can cause the garbage disposal to become temperamental, our service technicians provide an in-depth analysis to properly pinpoint what’s making your garbage disposal act up. Frequently, it doesn’t have anything to do with a clog. Non-clog related factors causing your garbage disposal to not work may include faulty wiring, worn down switches or tripped circuits.
