Your Garbage Disposal May be Calling out for a Plumber.

Ah, wouldn’t it be nice if good things could last forever?  Kitchen appliances are no different. Garbage disposals are an essential kitchen convenience for most homeowners that are used pretty much every day.

Here are some signs that it is time to call a plumber to fix your garbage disposal –

1.  The disposal is on, but not making any noise.

2.  There is a detectable leak.

3.  Slower and slower draining.

4.  It begins to smell.

5.  It becomes flat-out jammed.

Dispose of Yucky Stuff.

During the summer months your garbage disposal may get quite a workout.  Kids are running in and out of the house and putting heaven knows what down the sink.  Are you ready for that?  Let’s start with the cardinal rule.  Never, never, never put your hand down the drain and come in contact with the disposal!

If the disposal will not turn on and it is not making a humming sound, then there may an electrical problem.  If it IS plugged in and is not turning try pressing the reset button.  You may have a stuck flywheel because something is lodged in it.  And then, there is the possibility that the unit is leaking.  That presents a whole new set of challenges.

We eliminate the guesswork.  Call Altitude Heating and Air Inc.  We are proud to be Colorado Springs experts in troubleshooting, repairing, or replacing your home’s garbage disposal.  For any plumbing problems that may occur in these busy summer months to come please keep our phone number handy (719) 209-4955.
