Signs your disposal needs service

- Loud grinding or rattling noises
A few things to keep out of it
Disposals handle a lot, but not everything. Keep out grease and oil, fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), coffee grounds, eggshells in quantity, and anything starchy like potato peels or pasta. A little care goes a long way toward avoiding clogs — and if one slips through, we're a call away.

Garbage disposal FAQ
How long do garbage disposals last?
Most last about 8–12 years depending on use and care. If yours is older and giving trouble, replacement is often cheaper than repeated repairs.
Should I repair or replace it?
Jams, resets, and minor leaks are usually repairable. If the motor is dead or the housing is leaking, a new unit is typically the better value. We'll tell you honestly.
What size disposal do I need?
For most households a 1/2 to 3/4 HP unit is plenty; larger families or heavy use may want 1 HP. We'll recommend the right fit and install it.
Can you add a disposal to a sink that doesn't have one?
Yes — as long as the plumbing and electrical allow, we can add one. We'll check your setup and let you know.
