Whether the disposal is clogged with grease or components that have come loose, our team will quickly identify the problem and perform the necessary repairs.

How To Avoid Garbage Disposal Problems

When we install the garbage disposal in your home, our technicians will go over the unit’s operation and maintenance requirements with you. Among the things we will discuss are steps you can take to protect your unit from damage. These include putting grease or oil, coffee grounds, and fibrous or starchy foods in the trash rather than the disposal.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips

• Run the cold water when using the disposal and for about 10 to 15 seconds after.
• Grind ice to clean the disposal drain. Be sure to place the stopper in, before crushing the ice, so the ice chips won’t fly out.
• Help prevent fat buildup and avoid a slow, smelly drain with regular use of a garbage disposal cleaner product or degreasing chemical.
• Grind citrus fruit peelings regularly to maintain a fresh scent from the disposal drain and help disrupt bacteria growth.
• Let us snake the drain every year or two to maintain the unit and help avoid disposal clogs.

FAQs

Can I install a garbage disposal myself without hiring a plumber?

Yes, you can install a garbage disposal yourself for a simple replacement, but correct plumbing and electrical connections are critical. ABC Plumbing installs new units, ensures proper connection to your plumbing and electrical systems, and secures and aligns the unit. If your disposal is jammed, leaking, or won’t turn on, we diagnose and repair or advise replacement. For new installs, upgrades, or dishwasher hookups in Tampa or Clearwater, professional installation helps prevent leaks, clogs, and callbacks.

How much does it cost to have a garbage disposal fixed?

Garbage disposal repair cost depends on the issue and parts needed. With ABC Plumbing, Air, Heat & Electric, you get an upfront, by-the-job price after diagnosis, and we never start work without your approval. Our Tampa-area plumbers can often fix jams, leaks, clogs, or electrical faults the same day. If repair isn’t cost-effective, we’ll recommend replacement and handle installation. Ultimate Advantage Club members receive repair discounts and priority scheduling.

How much does it cost to replace a garbage disposal?

Garbage disposal replacement cost varies by unit and installation scope. We provide upfront, by-the-job pricing after an in-home assessment in Tampa. You’ll approve the number before any work begins. Factors that affect price include the disposal’s horsepower, brand choice, any needed electrical connection, sink flange or drain alignment changes, and leak or trap repairs. Ultimate Advantage Club members get repair discounts and priority scheduling. We serve Tampa, Saint Petersburg, and Clearwater.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not working?

A humming disposal usually means the motor is powered but the impeller is jammed. First, cut power at the switch and breaker to stay safe. Try a reset on the unit, then restore power. If it still hums, it likely needs professional unjamming or repair.

Quick checks:

• Turn power off; never put hands inside.
• Try the reset button.
• If humming continues, service may be required. ABC can unjam, replace seals, or replace the unit.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom?

Leaks from the bottom usually mean a failed internal seal or cracked disposal housing. Turn off the switch, avoid running water, and have a technician inspect it. ABC Plumbing diagnoses leaks, replaces worn seals or electrical connections, and advises replacement when repair isn’t cost-effective. We handle installation with proper plumbing and electrical connections for homes in Tampa and Clearwater.

• Cut power at the switch/breaker.
• Catch drips with a pan or towel.
• Do not keep running the unit.
• Book service for repair or replacement.
