When the Daily Grind Gets to Be Too Much
When your garbage disposal breaks down, it can quickly become a major inconvenience and even a family health hazard. Without a functioning disposal, food waste and debris can accumulate in your sink, attracting insects and creating unpleasant odors, slow drainage, potential clogs in your plumbing system.
So what are the signs you need Bradenton, FL garbage disposal repair?
Some examples are:
- Unpleasant odors: When food particles get trapped in the disposal and cannot be ground and flushed away, they decompose in place, creating foul smells. This indicates a clog or a problem with the disposal’s grinding mechanism.
- Slow drainage: Standing or slow-moving water in your sink is the telltale sign of a clog, either within the disposal or in the pipe leading out of it. When the efficient flow of water and waste is disturbed, it’s time for an inspection and possible repair. Call our team of licensed plumbers in Bradenton, FL to get tips on how regular maintenance can help once we complete your garbage disposal repair.
- Strange noises: A well-functioning garbage disposal operates with a consistent grinding sound. Loud banging, screeching, or vibration indicates that the blades may be jammed, or other internal components are broken. Our Bradenton, FL local plumbers can help.
- Frequent resets: The reset button is a safety mechanism to prevent motor burnout. If you have to constantly reset your garbage disposal, your motor may be struggling.

Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
Can I repair my own garbage disposal?
We strongly recommend against trying to DIY a disposal. Each disposal works a bit differently, so an online video might not be accurate. Moreover, things can get messy and damage to the pipes under your sink can cause leaks later. Don’t risk a mess and a headache. Call our team of licensed plumbers at Service Minds Benjamin Franklin today.
Does it help to put a cleaning agent in my disposal?
If you know that your disposal stopped working right after you tried to get rid of a cup full of rice or oatmeal, then you probably know the source of the issue. In these cases, if you are willing to get a little dirty, you can unplug your unit and disconnect the U-bends under your sink (but keep a bucket there too) to get rid of the clog.
However, the store-bought cleaning agents shouldn’t be used with any regularity as they often contain chemicals that damage the interior of the garbage disposal and your pipes.
How long do repairs last?
The average garbage disposal lasts an average of ten years depending on how often it is used and maintained. Once our local plumbers in Bradenton, FL do repairs, it should help support this lifespan.
Is it better to pay for a repair or a replacement?
That is up to you, but our team will review the details with you for the prices of repairs vs. replacements before we get started. If the repairs are expensive, or frequent, we might suggest a replacement.
