Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix
Garbage disposals are a combination of both electrical and plumbing. As such, it’s not surprising when challenges can happen that require the disposal to be repaired. Some common challenges we encounter include:
Drain is Clogged / Disposal Drains Slowly
Your drain could be slow because there’s something blocking the main pipe or things are getting stuck around the opening of the pipes. Every time you throw away huge amounts of debris and food in your garbage disposal, you put your sink and kitchen drain at risk of being clogged. You will hardly find a more frustrating situation than a kitchen sink that cannot drain. When your blades are dull or there’s a break in the system, the food and liquid will back up.
If you notice water and food running back up the sink, it could be that the blades of your sieve are dull or there is a clog deeper in the pipes. In that case, you better call a professional plumber to deal with the problem.
Unit is Leaking Under the Sink
If you have a garbage disposal, you should check the seal around it to make sure it’s not leaking. Leaks can often be fixed and prevented, but sometimes they go unnoticed for months or years, which leads to serious issues.
If you see the unit leaking under the kitchen sink, you better call a local plumbers to deal with it, like us
Strange noises
if you’ve been hearing a strange sound coming from your kitchen, it’s probably not the disposal doing its job. A grating metal noise could indicate that something is stuck in the blades of the disposal and needs to be removed before it damages the unit. If you hear any humming sounds from your disposal, it’s time to call a plumber.
Jammed
A jammed garbage disposal can make a mess. This often happens when too much waste is dumped down the sink and doesn’t go through the blades properly. The excess waste will back up, sometimes causing too much water to overflow from the sink.
You can avoid getting stuck in the kitchen sink by regularly running water and rock salt down it and avoiding excessive food waste.
Garbage Disposal doesn’t work
When you turn on your garbage disposal and it doesn’t make a sound, the silence might indicate a couple of different issues: the plug for the disposal could be loose or the reset button may have popped out. You might need a new switch or your circuit breaker to the motor might have overloaded.
The different smell in the kitchen
Sometimes, when garbage is sitting in there for a while and not being used, it starts to smell really bad. That’s because particles that collect at the disposal tend to emit smells. Don’t worry though! There’s no problem with your disposal. It just needs a good cleaning. Keep in mind that this technique only provides temporary relief for smells.
If you have persistent odor issues, it might be better if you called professional plumbers to take apart the disposal and clean it more thoroughly. This is a good bet if your drain is slow or clogged.
Grinding noises
When you hear a loud grinding noise, one of two things can be happening. Either something has come in contact with the metallic blades or the blades have chipped and forged against each other.
We recommend that you be mindful of these potential scenarios because they could have severe consequences for your well-being. If your grinding chamber is replaced recently, and a part in it gets damaged, you may be able to use the warranty to fix the issue.
Can I repair garbage disposal myself?
If you try to handle the repair works by yourself, you can follow several easy steps:
Find a button on the bottom of your disposer and press it. If it does not help, look inside the drain using a flashlight;
You may find some objects that clog the drain;
Remove all foreign objects and do not forget to switch the power off;
Find the hex key jam and turn it back and forth.
We do not recommend fixing or repairing your garbage disposer by yourself. It can lead to injuries and consequences that are even more dangerous. The best bet is to hire professional technicians who will handle the repair and installation.

Called 5 star plumbing last night and they were able to setup an appointment for a technician to come this morning. Peter was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was on time, polite, fixed our leakage, ran the hydrojet through our pipes,… More did a camera test and installed our toilet seat. I’m very pleased with his work. He also did a good job cleaning after himself. Thank you
The two guys that came out to replace our water heater were very professional and polite. I really appreciate how quick they were able to come out and get the job done. I would highly recommend this company to family and to anyone else.… More Thanks 5 star 🌟 🤩
I sent a quote request through 5 star plumbing website, and was answered immediately even though it was 9pm. I needed to have a new toilet installed, the technician Adam was super accommodating and came early to help with the project. His… More work was quick, efficient, and top quality. And he was able to help me fix my faucet flow without charging me extra. Excellent service through and through. Will definitely call them again.
I called this company last weekend as I was having a leak in my service line that I couldn’t remove myself. I have an old claw foot bathtub and one end of the water service line was 3/4 on an inch - which they don’t make anymore. In order… More to replace both service lines, apply adapters and do the work in a “confined space” they wanted to charge $750. This was WAY too much for the work they would do, so I had the plumber take the service lines off and declined any further services. He knocked on my door a few minutes later saying the company approved him giving me a discount for $350. I declined again ad this whole situation was a red flag. I went to Ace and bought two service lines, two 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch adapters and some latex Teflon tape all for less than $30. I did all of the repair myself and 2 hours later I was done. How is that worth $750? If the argument for price is a “confined space” - well then please show me any plumbing set up that is not in a confined space. This company is shady and wants to mark up the price based on the zip code you live in. The job they had to do was very straightforward and simple. I can’t imagine what they would charge for an actual serious plumbing problem. I would search for a more trustworthy company to work with.
This is the second time we have used 5 Star Plumbing's services. We came back to use them again because they were so good the first time. I called them this morning and got an appointment for the same day. Adam arrived on time, wore… More little booties over his shoes the whole visit to keep our floors clean, and was nothing but polite and kind. He worked to diagnosis the issue carefully and correctly, saving us time and money. I felt that we were getting honest service and great work. I would highly recommend this company and Adam for your plumbing needs.
I’m a General Contractor and I met Adam about a month ago he called because he needed help with one of my services that’s how I met Adam and as a contractor I can tell right away which one is a good one, they have top of the line equipment… More and latest ed technology for plumbing. Unfortunately I had a water leak at my own property and we were having trouble finding it and I decided to call 5 Start plumbing, the answer right away and put me in the schedule the next day, Adam did his magic and helped me to find the location of the leak and make the statement needed for my insurance company. If you are looking for a professional plumbing company give them call they are definitely very fair on pricing also, I also do water damage restoration and I’ll be contacting them to have plumbing repairs done. Highly recommend!
Fast, Affordable fix for my water heater relief valve. Adam saw the issue immediately and narrowed it down to just a few possible problems. I am very happy with the work and will be using 5 Star Plumbing for all my plumbing needs moving… More forward!
Xfinity had come to install cable and drilled into something on our tankless water heater. They shut off the water and asked that I call a plumber. I called and scheduled a plumber to come out to diagnose the problem. Initially Xfinity… More said it might be the tank, but this is why you hire a professional to diagnose. A plumber was “dispatched” and said he could not fix it until he ordered a new tankless water heater. He then said his estimate was either $3600 or $3800. Comcast sent their supervisor out and within less than 10 min could tell it was not the unit that was hit, it was a simple external copper pipe. We paid about $140 and nothing was solved or diagnosed properly. if it had not been for the Comcast crew that knows plumbing and construction, we would hav been out $3600, or actually Comcast would. Then the plumber came out to repair the external pipe and this is how he left the 2x4 he torched. I’ll never hire another plumber who hires out subs to do working under a domain name who has not ties to workman. Go direct to an independent.
The technician arrived early. I was shocked at the price to replace a water pressure regulator ($691) but the technician was excellent! My 5 stars are for the technician, NOT the company. The part is around $80.00 (Home Depot) and $150… More (Amazon). So, over $500 labor to unscrew, replace, and rescrew?? and that was with a sup-posed 20% discount! Really!! There is a difference between making a profit and making a killing!! I would give zero stars for the company but definitely 5 stars for the technician. He did a great job! He should have his own plumbing business!!
Great service by Peter. He arrived within the stated time frame and was thorough in his inspection. He was informative and very pleasant. The price was as quoted. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Thank you for coming out in the middle of the night to fix our plumbing emergency. Did you know that some plumbing companies that advertise 24/7 aren’t providing 24/7 emergency services? But 5-Star does. I didn’t even have to ask twice.… More And, you were at our home in 30 minutes. Kudos to you! We will certainly use your services again. S. Stephenson
Excellent experience with 5-Star plumbing. I had a failing PRV that needed to be replaced right away and reached out to several companies to do the work. 5-Star responded quickly with a next day service and competitive pricing. Adam from… More 5-Star got the job done right and was very good to work with. I appreciated his professionalism and explanations of the completed work. Highly recommended!
Very pleased with 5 Stars timely and professional plumbing service. 5 Star wars available the same day I called and arrived promptly as scheduled. Peter managed to upgrade and repair the plumbing for our aging dishwasher. He was thorough,… More professional and friendly. He cleaned up all debris and ensured the plumbing was up to code. Peter instilled confidence for us in 5 Star Plumbing.
I broke a water hose bib on the exterior of my home and needed a plumber right away, as I wasn’t sure which of the 4 water valves, in front of my house, was the water main. The plumber, Ezra arrived within 15-20 minutes of my call to 5… More Star Plumbing. The plumber, Ezra was prompt and courteous. He explained the repairs to me prior to beginning and I received a written quote in advance of performing the repairs. I would highly recommend Ezra, in particular. & 5 Star Plumbing
Eze is such a wonderful man. My water heater died after 18 years and I called 5 Star and was so happy that Eze went and got a new water heater today, installed and upgraded to inspection wise. He’s a hard worker, and very professional in… More his work. Thank you Eze so much!! I’ll definitely refer 5 Star to my neighbors and friends. 👍🏆🥇🤩☺️
Water main leaking. Came same day and kept me informed about arrival. The repair was done quickly and efficiently. Better than the original job. Very courteous repairman. Nice to have water again. Thank you 5 Star!
I had a shower leak, emailed 5 star plumbing and got a response in 2-3 minutes. Peter Beth came out the same day and diagnosed my problem, gave me a reasonable price quote. I agreed we set up a follow up appointment, he came back today… More and completed job to my satisfaction. Peter explained everything and left my bathroom spotless. You would never believe he had to cut a hole the wall everything thing is perfect. I highly recommend this company and Peter Beth.
I’ve used 5 star for years for various plumbing issues in our home. Always fast response time for service calls. Always punctual, courteous, and great at explaining all aspects of what is needed and why. They definitely live up to their… More name.
Had a clog in the bathroom sink and it wasn’t draining. Made a call and they stated they’d be here within two hours. They were here within an hour. Took care of the clog within a matter of minutes. On time, very Professional and respectful… More of property. Would definitely use them again.
Eze was the best plumber I’ve ever met. He is so intelligent, kind, professional, and practices a high level of integrity. I will refer all of my friends and family to him and this establishment. This was truly white glove customer service… More and care.
I was soo glad to get same day service as the call! Rather embarrassing to find it was just the pilot light, but great troubleshooting as to the cause. There's a high chance the flame was interrupted when I had the dryer duct cleaned.… More Now it's a more expensive dryer duct cleaning - Eyeroll!! Anyway I would call upon 5-star again for sure. He also gave good advice on providing more airflow to the water heater compartment.
Reliable! Efficient! I got an appointment right away! I would like to thank Eze for coming out! He was quick to get the job done. I like that I was sent a text letting me know the ETA and picture of my technician. 5 Star made my experience… More painless and hassle-free. I would highly recommend it.

5 Star Plumbing repaired a 1980s era shower valve and changed out the shower head. Both had slow leaks. The company scheduled a timely appointment with one of their technicians who arrived on time and absolutely knew what he needed to do… More to fix the leak. Fast, efficient, competent.
We had a brand new washing machine leaking water when we ran it. 5 Star Plumbing had a super quick response, and the tech came out on a holiday (July 4th). Diagnosed and (fingers crossed) solved the problem in about 45 minutes. Super friendly… More and kind. I would definitely call them again.
Olek was here . Very prompt , polite and knows what he’s doing . He identified the issue right away . My son even said “ I like this guy coz he is easy and a bit funny” Will def hire Olek or tap the services of 5 Star again ! Kudos to… More your peeps ❤️
Technician was great, timely and efficient but the cost was outrageous. 500 plus dollars for an install of a disposal is ridiculous, the only other option he had was 480? Good service but prices will unfortunately keep me from repeat… More using this company.
Five Star Plumbing has excellent service! Adam showed up extremely early and fast, got the old toilet removed, installed our new one, and hauled everything away for us. We plan to use this company again in the future.
Eze came to change our shower cartridge and provided the most excellent service. Identified the problem and showed us every step of the way to explain very clearly. Great demeanor and very polite.

Second time using 5-star plumbing, and we are very satisfied with the work. Not only did they respond to our inquiries quickly, but they also advised us on a few helpful suggestions for our plumbing. They recently fixed the leakage issue… More in one of our toilets and helped us reinstall the water heater to meet the code. My family will definitely use their service again in the future when needed.
5 star plumbing is always helpful knowledgeable and available quickly. We didn’t end up completing the job this time as it was a little too expensive for a cosmetic change but he gave me ideas of how to make it look better. They have helped… More us out twice in the past and were great
I called in a Saturday and received a fair quote. They came out and inspected everything and it ended up not being as extensive as I original thought so they were able to lower the price after they carefully inspected everything. Normally… More plumbers try to upsell you to pay more. Very happy with their service.
Eze was amazingly helpful and helped diagnose and explain the issues in an easy to understand manner. He worked hard every minute he was at our home. Outstanding service! 🙏
Once again, main water feed into house breaks at 8PM on a Friday night. Google led me to 5 Star Plumbing. Submitted a request via online and someone contacted me at 930 PM.

Very early in the morning, we heard a dripping come from a wall between the master bedroom and the master shower. It sounds like a clock.

We called later that day and they were able to schedule appointment for the next day. Turn the water back on and we heard no dripping.
