Common Garbage Disposal Problems in Falls Church
Many Falls Church customers call us because of one of these five common problems. You may already see one of them in your home right now.
If your disposal makes a humming sound when you turn it on but the blades do not move, it is likely jammed. This is a common problem that can often be resolved without replacing the unit. Our technicians can safely clear the jam and restore normal operation.
Food waste, a small object, or buildup inside the unit can cause the blades to lock up. Forcing the unit to run when it is jammed can cause motor damage. We can remove the blockage safely and check for any wear on internal parts.
Leaks can come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or the drain line. A small leak under the sink can cause damage to cabinets and flooring over time. We will find where the leak is coming from and fix it properly.
If water is draining slowly from your sink, the disposal may be contributing to a blockage. This can happen when food waste builds up inside the unit or in the connected drain line. We can clear the obstruction and check that the disposal is working as it should.
If pressing the switch or the reset button produces no response, there may be an electrical issue, a blown fuse, or a problem with the motor. Our team can safely check the unit and let you know the best option for repair or replacement.
