Common Problems with Garbage Disposals

We have the capabilities to work on a range of garbage disposals, including continuous feed and batch feed. Continuous feed disposals consistently process waste as long as the machine is fed. Batch feed disposals only work when all elements are closed, making this a great option for homes with children.

There are many reasons your garbage disposal may need repair, including:

• Clogs and jams
• Excessive debris
• Loud noises
• Leaks
• Power issues

The most important part of a successful garbage disposal repair is understanding the root cause of the issue. As delicate systems, there are only certain things that can be placed into the garbage disposal for it to continue working. With over 50 years of experience serving Ventura County and Los Angeles County, we know how to target problems and understand how to prevent them from returning.
