Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair in Las Vegas
What Are Common Garbage Disposal Problems?
Clogs and jams
Are you watching what enters your drains on a daily basis? Too much food waste placed into your sink at once can cause your garbage disposal to clog, or the food can get jammed in the blades.
Faulty motor
Is your disposal unit’s motor failing to work? When this happens, the unit will stop in the middle of use or else fail to turn on entirely.
Keep in mind that your disposal unit is only designed to chop up certain kinds of food. For example, potato or banana peels are rough on your unit and can cause clogs.
If you are experiencing these problems, or others, contact us for immediate repair.
