Why Is Professional Garbage Disposal Repair Necessary?
Your garbage disposal keeps your kitchen running smoothly — until it doesn’t. Atlanta’s humidity and mineral-rich water can accelerate corrosion, while improper use or installation can lead to costly plumbing damage. Professional repairs ensure the problem is fixed safely and correctly.
Benefits of professional garbage disposal service:
- Prevent Pipe Damage: Avoid costly plumbing repairs from improper installation or clogged drains.
- Protect Your Warranty: DIY fixes can void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Stay Safe: Disposals contain sharp blades and electrical components best handled by a pro.
- Accurate Diagnosis: We pinpoint the issue — whether mechanical, electrical, or drainage-related.
- Long-Lasting Results: Roto-Rooter fixes the cause, not just the symptom.
If your disposal is noisy, leaking, or jammed, our garbage disposal experts can have it running like new again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom. Can it be fixed?
Roto-Rooter offers a variety of options for garbage disposal repair in Atlanta. However, if the leak is internal, replacement is often the best option. Our team can inspect and advise on the right solution.
Can garbage disposals be installed in homes with older plumbing?
Yes, you can install a garbage disposal in a home with older plumbing. Many Atlanta neighborhoods—like Virginia-Highland, Grant Park, and Midtown—feature homes with aging pipes and fixtures. Roto-Rooter’s experts can recommend and install disposal systems that work safely and efficiently with older plumbing systems.
How do I maintain my garbage disposal to prevent clogs?
Run cold water while using it, avoid fibrous foods, and clean with ice and citrus peels monthly to keep blades sharp and odor-free.
Does Atlanta’s hard water affect garbage disposals?
Yes. Hard water can cause mineral buildup and corrosion. Regular maintenance helps extend your disposal’s lifespan.
Why does my disposal make a humming noise but not spin?
This usually indicates a jammed flywheel or motor issue. Our technicians can safely clear the blockage and test the system.
Are garbage disposals safe for homes with septic systems?
Yes, but you’ll need a septic-assist model. Roto-Rooter can help select and install the right unit for your setup.
How long should a garbage disposal last in Atlanta?
With regular maintenance, most units last 8–12 years, though Atlanta’s humidity can shorten that lifespan if not cleaned regularly.
Can I repair my garbage disposal myself?
We don’t recommend it. Garbage disposals have sharp components and electrical connections that can be hazardous without proper training.
What are the common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Unusual noises, leaks, unpleasant odors, or a unit that fails to turn on are clear warning signs that you need a professional inspection.
What’s the cost of garbage disposal repair in Atlanta?
Pricing depends on the issue and unit type, but Roto-Rooter provides upfront quotes and transparent rates with no hidden fees.
