Garbage Disposal Repair in Jacksonville, FL
Most of the time you know if you have a clogged or non-functioning garbage disposal. What you might not know is that if you delay the garbage disposal repair it can trigger clogs further down your drain lines causing more complicated and pricey drain clogs and backups. David Gray plumbers are experienced with multiple garbage disposal brands and sizes to identify and correct issues efficiently and reliably when they occur. Common garbage disposal repairs that we find are:
- Clogs: Water won’t drain through the unit because food or waste is clogging the drainpipe.
- Unresponsive unit: You flip the switch, but nothing happens. This could be due to a bad connection or a unit that needs to be reset.
- Noise: The system hums because the impellor or motor needs to be replaced.
- Leaks: Water is found underneath the sink near the motor from faulty seals or broken pipes.
- Smells: Faulty seals permit waste and odors to escape endangering the sanitation of the areas.
- Food jams: Too much food, or the wrong kind of items, are inhibiting the normal blade motion.
