Garbage Disposal Services
Your garbage disposal is one of the hardest-working appliances in your kitchen. When it’s working properly, it helps keep sinks clear, prevents clogs, and makes cleanup simple. But when it breaks down, your kitchen can quickly become inconvenient — or even unsanitary. At Mike's Plumbing, we provide professional garbage disposal repair and installation services to keep your kitchen operating at its best. Call (310) 628-1796 today to schedule service.
Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Garbage disposals are built to last, but they’re not indestructible. Over time, wear and misuse can lead to issues such as:
- Jammed blades – Bones, utensils, or fibrous foods can stop the blades from turning.
- Clogs – Grease, coffee grounds, and food buildup can block the drain.
- Leaking disposals – Seals or connections may wear down, leading to water damage under the sink.
- Strange noises – Grinding, humming, or rattling often means the motor or blades are struggling.
- Total breakdowns – If the motor burns out, the unit won’t run at all.
If you notice any of these issues, our plumbers can diagnose the problem and get your disposal working again.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Many garbage disposal problems can be fixed without replacing the unit. Our plumbers handle:
- Clearing jams and blockages
- Replacing worn seals and connections
- Repairing electrical issues
- Restoring proper function to keep your sink draining freely
We’ll always recommend repair when it makes sense, saving you money while extending the life of your disposal.
Garbage Disposal Installation
Sometimes replacement is the smarter choice — especially for older or heavily damaged units. At Mike's Plumbing, we install new garbage disposals that are efficient, reliable, and perfectly matched to your sink and household needs. Whether you want a standard disposal or a heavy-duty model for frequent use, we’ll make sure it’s installed correctly and ready to last.
Tips for a Healthy Garbage Disposal
To get the most from your disposal, follow these simple guidelines:
- Run cold water while the unit is operating
- Avoid grinding fibrous foods like celery or corn husks
- Don’t put grease or oil down the drain
- Use citrus peels to freshen the disposal naturally
Regular care and proper use will help your disposal last longer and prevent clogs.
