Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Why is my garbage disposal not turning on?
This can be caused by a tripped reset button, electrical issue, jammed blades, or a faulty motor. We identify the source and fix it safely.
-
Can a leaking disposal be repaired?
Yes — but leaks from the bottom usually require replacement. Side leaks or connection leaks can often be repaired.
-
Do you repair all disposal brands in Baltimore?
Yes. We service all major garbage disposal brands including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and more.
-
Is same-day service available in Baltimore?
Most days, yes — especially when you call early.
-
Why does my garbage disposal hum but not spin?
Humming usually means the motor is getting power, but the flywheel is jammed. This needs professional handling because forcing it can damage the motor.
-
What causes a garbage disposal to leak from the top?
Often linked to the sink flange or mounting assembly wearing out or loosening, especially in older units.
-
Why is my garbage disposal leaking from the bottom?
Usually indicates internal seal failure or a damaged motor seal, which often means the unit requires replacement..
-
Why does water back up into the sink when using the disposal?
This typically points to a blockage in the drain trap (P-trap) or discharge tube rather than the disposal itself.
-
What does it mean if the disposal trips the reset button?
The motor is overheating or overloaded.
-
Why does my garbage disposal splash water back up?
A worn splash guard can cause this.
-
What’s the difference between continuous-feed and batch-feed disposals?
Continuous runs immediately, batch-feed requires a cover — useful for safety and preventing jams.
-
Can a faulty switch stop the disposal?
Yes — electrical components can prevent startup.
-
How do you service a garbage disposal in Baltimore?
Servicing involves checking electrical connections, inspecting the grinding chamber, ensuring moving parts work, and checking for leaks or blockages. A technician also looks for leaks, worn gaskets, or motor issues. Because disposals combine electricity, sharp components, and plumbing, proper servicing should be done by a professional to avoid damage or safety risks.
