Remember the first day your garbage disposal was installed? It was exciting. Wasn’t it? The thought of using your disposal to help you reduce waste in your trash cans, and the idea that clean up after meals would be easier was intoxicating. Okay, we may be overdramatizing the feelings, but you get the point. But, like any appliance, eventually, the newness wore off and your disposal may have started giving you problems here and there. Now, it’s gotten to the point that you’re in a love/hate relationship with your garbage disposal and ready to upgrade to a new and improved model. Before you spend money on a new disposal, call My Montclair Plumber Hero.
Garbage Disposal Repair in Montclair
Unless your disposal’s motor is burnt out or it is getting close to reaching its 10th year of operation, you may be able to repair the disposal for less than what it would cost to get a new one. Our plumbing specialists can help you make this decision. When you request an inspection from one of our contractors, they will examine the disposal and determine the exact reason for its failure to function up to your standards. There are a number of reasons why a perfectly good disposal may stop working. Here are just a few of those reasons:
- Faulty wiring
- Broken seal
- Motor needs to be reset
- Jammed blades
- Broken flywheel
- Foreign objects lodged in the blades
- Drain clogs
- Faulty on/off switch
