Garbage Disposal Doctors On Call
Your garbage disposal is one of the hardest working appliances in your kitchen. Day in and day out, it grinds up food scraps to keep your sink running smoothly and prevent plumbing clogs. Robust and built to last, garbage disposals can serve honorably for a decade or more. But even the heartiest units break down occasionally. Blades need to be sharpened, clogs removed, leaks sealed, and switches rewired.

Diagnosis and Triage
Recognizing the signs of a disposal in need of repair can prevent further damage and the need to replace the unit down the road. Here are the common symptoms that it’s time to call in the professionals at Service Minds Benjamin Franklin:
Unnatural Noises: A well-functioning disposal should run with a smooth, whirring sound as the grinders pulverize food waste. Jams, blockages, or broken components cause loud clanking, grinding, or rattling.
Foul Smells: Food odors that linger long after disposal are caused by decomposing food particles trapped in cracks or crevices. These components will need professional deep cleaning or replacement.
Frequent Overheating: If the garbage disposal must be reset often because it may be shutting off because the motor is overheating. Dull blades of insufficient power are the likely suspects.
Sluggish Grinding: Blade sharpening or replacement may be needed if the disposal cannot efficiently grind food particles into manageable bits. Allowing large chunks down the drain invites clogging.
Pooling Water: Puddles around the base of your disposal or under the sink indicate cracked housing, broken gaskets, or work out seals that must be repaired.
Loss of Power: An outright failure to turn on could signal an electrical malfunction or burned-out motor.
