Garbage Disposal Repair
Miami homes often rely on garbage disposals to process food waste and keep the kitchen clean. So when it stops happening, it becomes a significant burden. Our team can help you determine the cause of your problem and suggest the right garbage disposal repair.
3 Signs You Need Miami, FL Garbage Disposal Repair
Garbage disposals work very hard to get rid of your kitchen waste, but there are several things that can cause problems, including age, putting too much down the disposal, or issues with the motor.
#1: Smells
If your garbage disposal is functioning properly, all of the food waste that goes down your sink is sent through your plumbing system. But if it’s not working properly, food waste can get stuck and this buildup of food particles can lead to messy clogs and decomposition. Over time this causes a bad smell to emanate from your garbage disposal.
If you are struggling with unwanted smells coming from your garbage disposal, call our team to schedule your garbage disposal repair appointment. We use top-tier tools to diagnose the problem and drain cleaning services to get rid of any clogs that you might have.
#2: Poor Function
If your garbage disposal isn’t disposing as much as it should, as quickly as it should, or it’s making weird noises and doesn’t stay on when you want it to, you might be having problems with a motor malfunction. This could be the result of an older unit that simply has to be replaced or an engine that was burned out trying to dispose of something large or messy that it wasn’t equipped to handle.
Our licensed plumbers in Miami, FL, can help restore the engine where possible and recommend replacements when needed.
#3: Leaks
If you notice water pooling under the disposal or water coming back up through the drain, this could indicate a serious problem. Our team can arrange for a garbage disposal repair or emergency service if you are at risk of flooding and water damage.

Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
If your garbage disposal doesn’t work, never put your hands in it, even if you think there is a leak or clog. Always double-check that your disposal is plugged in, with the reset switch on the outlet and the disposal engaged. If this doesn’t fix the problem, you can contact our team at Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for an appointment.
This process can be very dangerous. The motors and the blades present physical obstacles, and while it might be easy to deal with backlogged water and a clog inside the pipes underneath your sink, this is very messy, and other components, if broken, can be dangerous to repair on your own. Our team can help detach and reattach all components safely to prevent future leaks and ensure that the cause of the malfunction is correctly ascertained before conducting any repairs.
The amount of time it takes to complete a garbage disposal repair is based on the cause of the problem, whether there are other plumbing issues too, and a handful of similar factors. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment before starting to find the cause, after which we will give you an accurate breakdown of the expected time and costs.
If you are having repeated issues with an existing garbage disposal, and calling local plumbers in Miami, FL regularly, it might be time to invest in a replacement. When our team conducts our initial assessments, we will always aim for repairs over replacements, and it’s up to you to decide if the repairs are too costly and a replacement might be more affordable, or whether your unit is old enough that a replacement is just around the corner.
If you opt for a replacement, we can help you decide on the make and model that would work best for your situation and arrange an appointment for garbage disposal installation.
