Garbage Disposal Repair Services
Garbage disposals are essential kitchen appliances that keep unpleasant odors and bacteria out of your trash and sink by discarding organic waste. They bring a level of order and ease to our household activities that it would be hard to do without. In this sense, if your garbage disposal is self-destructing, it can be a source of stress. However, Thompson Family Plumbing & Drain’s garbage disposal repair in Hesperia, CA and surrounding areas is here to help.
Shred Your Stress With Expert Garbage Disposal Repair
Garbage disposal repair may involve employing different solutions depending on the problem at hand. Our experts will take special care to diagnose the issues causing your garbage disposal to malfunction and respond with a thorough action plan to get it back to prime performance. Some of the methods we may employ to properly service your garbage disposal are as follows:
- Resetting or repairing a faulty electrical connection
- Releasing jammed blades or other internal components
- Restoring deteriorated water-tight seals
- Repairing or replacing cracked units
What Causes A Garbage Disposal To Malfunction?
Even the highest quality garbage disposal on the market is susceptible to depletion when it is frequently used for food waste of varying types and consistencies or is overloaded. Hard or sharp food materials like animal bones or raw vegetables can dull the blades over time. Food waste that easily congeals, such as starches and fats, may inhibit the unit’s ability to drain properly. Built-up food inside the unit’s mechanisms can eventually cause these mechanisms to get stuck. Proper home care will help your garbage disposal maintain its performance, but when malfunctions arise, our experts should be called in for safe and thorough repairs.
When Is Garbage Disposal Repair Needed?
If your garbage disposal is struggling to do its job or has stopped working entirely, it’s recommended that you reach out to plumbing professionals like Thompson Family Plumbing. This prevents not only unnecessary frustration but dangerous accidents, too. You may notice that the smooth hum of your garbage disposal has now grown louder or is accompanied by clanking sounds. There may be slow or no drainage, or you’ll see water under or around the unit. The disposal may sound like it is working, but food waste is not being shredded. These are all signs that your unit needs expert repair.
What Are The Benefits Of Garbage Disposal Repair?
The most obvious advantage of having your garbage disposal repaired is the restoration of your usual cooking and cleaning routine. However, there is more to it. Broken garbage disposals can release unpleasant odors of undisposed food waste. They pose a hazard to you and your home, as they can turn back on at random or cause further damage through leaking. Therefore, it is pivotal to trust the plumbers who will keep your unit in top shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before attempting to fix a jammed disposal, make sure to turn off the power to the unit. You can then use a disposal wrench or an Allen wrench to manually rotate the blades and free the jam. Once the jam is cleared, restore power to the disposal and test it.
Several reasons could cause this issue, such as a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty switch, or a jammed disposal. Try resetting the disposal by pressing the reset button located on the bottom of the unit. If that doesn’t work, check the circuit breaker and the power supply to the disposal.
Leaks can occur due to damaged seals, loose connections, or cracks in the disposal unit. First, identify the source of the leak. Tighten any loose connections and replace any damaged seals. If the leak persists, you may need to replace the disposal unit.
Foul odors are often caused by food particles and grease buildup in the disposal. To eliminate the odor, try grinding ice cubes and citrus peels in the disposal to clean the blades and freshen the unit. You can also run hot water and a mild detergent down the disposal to remove any remaining residue.

“Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”
What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

“Took care of it in no time”
Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

“Gave me great peace of mind”
Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!
