Our Garbage Disposal Repair Process

in Loveland, CO & Baldwin County, AL

Thorough Diagnosis & Inspection

We begin by carefully inspecting your disposal unit, looking for obstructions around the blades, checking the motor and electrical wiring, and assessing overall condition. Through a step‑by‑step diagnostic approach, we find both obvious causes and hidden faults.

Precise, Quality Repairs

Once we know what’s wrong, we perform the necessary repairs using durable, manufacturer‑grade replacement parts. If it’s a jam, we’ll clear it safely. If a component is worn or faulty, we’ll replace or repair it. Electrical faults, motor issues, or loose connections are handled with the same care to restore dependable performance.

Testing & Verification

After repairs, we test the disposal under real use—grinding food waste, checking for leaks, listening for unusual sounds, and confirming smooth operation. Only when we’re satisfied the unit is working reliably will we consider our job done.

Common Issues That Require Garbage Disposal Repair

Garbage disposals are susceptible to a handful of typical problems. They may jam or clog from fibrous or dense food waste, leak underneath the sink from failed seals or connections, produce grinding or rattling noises from wear and tear, or simply stop turning on due to motor or electrical issues. Sometimes, a unit may repeatedly trip its reset switch or hum without any grinding action. Noticing any of these symptoms early helps prevent damage to additional plumbing components.

Things You Should Never Put Down a Garbage Disposal:

  1. Grease, Oil, and Fat – They solidify and clog pipes.
  2. Coffee Grounds – They form a dense sludge in drains.
  3. Eggshells – Membranes can wrap around blades; shells add to clogs.
  4. Bones and Pits – Too hard; damage blades and motors.
  5. Fibrous Vegetables – (e.g., celery, corn husks) can tangle and jam the disposal.
  6. Pasta, Rice, and Bread – Expand with water and cause blockages.
  7. Potato Peels – Create a starchy paste that clogs drains.
  8. Non-Food Items – Plastic, glass, or metal can ruin the unit.

Call Alder Plumbing Heating & Air if your garbage disposal is leaking, makes loud grinding noises, won’t turn on even after resetting, drains slowly (even after trying safe DIY fixes), or if water backs up into other sinks. Persistent clogs or foul odors that don’t go away may also signal deeper plumbing issues. For garbage disposal repair in Colorado call: 970-889-3553, for Alabama call: 251-880-4400
