Common Garbage Disposal Problems
While garbage disposals are built to be tough, they are not indestructible. Over time or due to foreign objects, they can develop a range of issues. Understanding these common problems can help you know when it's time to call a professional plumber for an assessment and repair.
Our plumbers can resolve any disposal issue, including:
- Humming but Not Grinding: This usually indicates the motor is working, but the blades are jammed by a hard object like a bone, fruit pit, or silverware, preventing them from spinning.
- Leaking from the Unit: Leaks can occur at several points: the sink flange on top, the dishwasher connection on the side, or the drain pipe at the bottom. A leak from the unit's main body often signals a cracked internal shell.
- No Power or Sound: If the disposal is completely unresponsive, it could be a simple issue like needing a reset, or it could be a problem with the electrical connection or a burned-out motor.
- Slow Draining: When the unit grinds ineffectively or the drain line becomes clogged with debris, your sink will drain very slowly or not at all, causing backups.
While some minor jams can sometimes be resolved by the homeowner, most of these issues require a professional. A plumber can correctly diagnose the problem and perform a repair that ensures the proper operation of the unit and its connections.

Why Use a Professional for Disposal Repair
Garbage disposals combine electricity and plumbing in a tight space. A professional plumber is trained to work with both systems correctly, preventing the risk of electrical shock or water leaks caused by an improper repair. This expertise ensures the job is done right for your household.
An experienced plumber can quickly identify the true cause of a problem. What seems like a broken unit might just be a clogged P-trap. This accurate diagnosis can save you from needlessly replacing a unit that could have been easily and affordably repaired by a knowledgeable technician.
Properly installing or re-installing a garbage disposal is critical to preventing future leaks. A professional ensures all seals and plumbing connections are secure and watertight, protecting the cabinet below from potential water damage. This quality workmanship provides long-term reliability for your kitchen sink.

FAQs About Garbage Disposal Repair in Santa Rosa
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
A humming sound usually means the motor has power, but the blades are jammed. This is often caused by a piece of bone, a fruit pit, or silverware getting stuck. It is important to disconnect the power before investigating, or call a professional for assistance.
Is it worth repairing an old garbage disposal?
It depends on the age and the problem. For a younger unit with a simple jam or minor leak, a repair is often cost-effective. For an older unit that is leaking from its body or has a burnt-out motor, a replacement is typically the better long-term investment.
What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking?
First, place a bowl under the unit to catch the water and avoid using the disposal. Leaks can come from multiple places, so it's best to call a professional plumber. They can identify the source of the leak and ensure the seals and connections are properly repaired.
What should I never put down my garbage disposal?
Avoid putting fibrous vegetables like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, eggshells, grease, or expandable foods like pasta and rice down your disposal. These items can jam the blades, clog your drain lines, and lead to premature failure of the unit.
