Signs You May Need a New Garbage Disposal Installed

Many people are not sure whether they really need a new disposal or if a quick repair will be enough. There are some clear signs that your current unit is reaching the end of its useful life. Frequent jams, even when you are careful about what goes into the sink, can point to worn internal components. If you find yourself hitting the reset button often or using a hex key under the unit every few days, replacement may be a better long-term answer.

Leaks under the sink are another warning sign. Water around the bottom of the disposal, rust on the housing, or damp areas on the cabinet floor suggest the casing or internal seals are failing. These issues can lead to cabinet damage and lingering odors if left unaddressed. Loud grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal sounds are also good indicators that something inside the unit is damaged beyond a simple adjustment.

In some cases, the disposal will not turn on at all, even after checking the reset button and breaker. While electrical issues upstream of the unit can occur, this often points to a motor that has burned out. If you are unsure whether your disposal needs repair or replacement, our plumbers can evaluate the unit, explain what they see, and help you decide which path makes more sense based on age, condition, and how you use your kitchen.

Choosing the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Kitchen

Not every garbage disposal is the same, and choosing the right unit can make a real difference in how well it serves your household. Horsepower is one of the first considerations. Households that cook frequently or have larger families often benefit from a higher horsepower disposal that can handle more food waste with fewer jams. Smaller households or lighter-use kitchens may be well served by a more modest unit that still offers reliable performance.

Noise level is another factor many homeowners care about. Some disposals include added insulation and design features that help reduce sound, which can be important in open-concept homes or smaller spaces where the kitchen is close to living areas. There are also differences in grind stages and chamber design that influence how finely food waste is processed before it enters your drain system.

Compatibility with your existing sink and plumbing is also important. The size of your sink basin, the type of mounting assembly, and how your dishwasher connects to the drain all play roles in choosing a unit that fits well. Our plumbers look at these details and discuss them with you, so the disposal you choose is a good match for your kitchen rather than an off-the-shelf guess.

We can provide quality disposals that meet a range of needs, including models that support more efficient operation and align with earth-friendly goals. If you already have a disposal you would like installed, our team can usually work with that unit as long as it is appropriate for the plumbing and electrical setup. During the visit, we explain how the unit you choose works and what to expect from it day to day.

Caring for Your New Garbage Disposal

Once your new disposal is installed, a few simple maintenance tips that can help it perform well for years. Running a steady flow of cold water before, during, and after using the disposal helps move food particles through the grind chamber and into the drain. Cutting large scraps into smaller pieces and feeding them gradually instead of all at once can also reduce strain on the motor and blades.

Certain items are better kept out of the disposal entirely. Stringy vegetables, large bones, coffee grounds, and liquids that cool into solid fats can all contribute to clogs and wear over time. Avoiding these materials helps keep your disposal and drain lines clearer. If odors build up, running a small amount of dish soap and cold water through the unit for a period can help rinse away residue.

Over the long term, paying attention to changes in sound, speed, or drainage gives you an early warning that something may need attention. Our team offers detailed maintenance plans for entire plumbing systems, which may include evaluating how your kitchen fixtures, drains, and appliances are performing together.
