When your garbage disposal breaks down, it can turn kitchen cleanup into a frustrating and time-consuming task. Perhaps the appliance won’t turn on at all, it’s making unusual grinding noises, or there are unpleasant smells coming from the unit. If you find yourself dealing with a malfunctioning garbage disposal, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for garbage disposal repair in Sewickley, PA. For decades, we’ve earned a reputation for providing professional plumbing repairs at affordable prices throughout Sewickley.
Garbage disposals are durable appliances that can last for more than 10 years, but they are not immune to damage. They can encounter a wide range of issues over time. Here are some of the common garbage disposal issues:
If your garbage disposal isn’t turning on in the first place, check if the disposal is properly plugged in. Next, go to your electrical panel and check if the breaker for the disposal has tripped. It may also happen that the outlet has malfunctioned—so you’ll want to test the outlet by plugging in another appliance. If that doesn’t work, you may be dealing with loose wiring. This is not a problem you should attempt to fix if you’re not a qualified plumber or electrician. Leave the job to the team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing.
A loud grinding noise coming from your garbage disposal often points to the possibility of something hard being lodged in the grinding chamber. Turn off the power to the appliance and check for obstructions using a flashlight. If the unit is making humming noises, chances are good that the motor is running but the blades aren’t turning. Get in touch with Mr. Rooter Plumbing for professional garbage disposal repair if you notice any odd sounds coming from your garbage disposal.
Nothing can be more frustrating than a garbage disposal that shuts off at strange intervals, especially when you’re in the middle of doing dishes after a large meal. This problem is usually caused by overheating, electrical issues, jamming, and motor problems. The best way to remedy this issue is to call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to inspect the unit and find the source of trouble. If this is a problem you’re experiencing frequently, it may be time to invest in a new garbage disposal. Mr. Rooter Plumbing is here to help you with garbage disposal replacement in Sewickley.
Foul odors emanating from a garbage disposal are an indication of food debris buildup in the grinder, on the blades, or in the drain pipe itself. Thankfully, resolving this problem doesn’t require professional intervention—it’s something you can address on your own. Pour a cup of baking soda down the garbage disposal and follow it up with a cup of vinegar. Let the mixture fizz for 15 minutes and flush with hot water to clear the solution. After that, grind lemon, lime, or orange peels to deodorize the unit. If the bad smells persist, it means there’s a deeper issue that needs to be addressed by a professional plumber.

Nick Smiley was awesome! Best experience I’ve ever had with a plumber, didn’t rob us, didn’t overcharge. I highly recommend, and no disrespect to the other plumbers which I’m sure is just as awesome, but I would request Nick again for every job moving forward. Thanks again Nick.
T just left my house and the service he provided was excellent. I had a backed-up toilet at a Sunday night after 9pm and they responded right away. T the technician was here within 30 min and had the problem fixed in less than an hour. Price was absolutely reasonable for the great service I received. Would 100% recommend.
