A working garbage disposal saves time and effort in the kitchen. Unfortunately, it’s not always clear what should and shouldn’t go in it, which results in clogs or damage. Here are a few problems we commonly handle:
You should always run cold water into the disposal while it’s on—cold water solidifies any oil that’s present, making it easier for the blades to break waste down. Garbage disposals should also be used regularly to avoid the formation of rust.

A leaky garbage disposal is an easy fix if you can find the root cause. Check for problems with any old or damaged parts, such as:
Most leaks can be repaired. If the leak is in the body or interior lining of the disposal, you will need to replace it.
It can take a DIYer an entire afternoon to locate and complete simple repairs; you may be better off calling in the Experts at Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing to diagnose and repair your problem. We’ll also look for any other components that are about to fail and resolve all of it with one visit.
To eliminate the risk of your garbage disposal smelling, food scraps should be ground up right away with cold water. Thirty seconds should be more than enough time. Avoid dumping coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and banana peels into your disposal, because they frequently cause drainage issues and unpleasant smells. While bleach seems like a good idea for cleaning your garbage disposal, it hardens grease and other food residue in your pipes, creating clogs.
Our plumbing Experts suggest using these cleaning solutions each week to keep your disposal smelling fresh:
You can also buy garbage disposal pods or grind up citrus peels to help clear out odors. If your garbage disposal still smells, you might be dealing with a leak (especially if the smell resembles a sewer). Contact us at 866-397-3787 for Expert plumbing service.
A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a standard charge levied by HVAC companies once someone is dispatched to your home to diagnose the issue plaguing your heating or cooling system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel expenses associated with assessing the problem. It’s essentially a service fee for the technician’s professional assessment to pinpoint what went wrong.
Think of it like a doctor’s appointment. They need to examine you to help figure out what’s wrong before recommending treatment. Similarly, your HVAC professional needs to diagnose your HVAC equipment to determine the repair or maintenance course of action.
