While you may not often think about your kitchen’s garbage disposal, it’s a useful and hardworking appliance that plays an important role in your plumbing system. It’s designed to safely flush small quantities of food residue through your plumbing. Unfortunately, many homeowners are unaware of what should or should not be placed into a garbage disposal, or what to do when it suddenly stops working, or worse, gets clogged up and won’t drain at all.
Coffee grounds, grease, and eggshells are some of the most common culprits. These and fibrous food items like root vegetable skins often form clogs, some of which require garbage disposal repair. Tougher objects like bone or silverware can jam or even damage the machinery. If they’re capable of damaging the garbage disposal, it’s possible they’ll harm your plumbing too. With enough damage, a better option may be garbage disposal installation. You’ll have to look into garbage disposal replacement rather than repairs.

Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair
- Sink is draining slowly. Kitchen garbage disposals are frequently located under the sink. Food waste will have to pass through the garbage disposal depending on which drain is being used. If the drain your garbage disposal is connected to drains slowly, a clog may have formed. Waiting too long may worsen the problem, or even produce mold and bacteria.
- Strange noises coming from the garbage disposal. If foreign objects like straws or silverware reach an active garbage disposal, they may damage delicate machinery like the blades. Your garbage disposal may not work effectively or even at all. This is often accompanied by a loud grating sound. Severe damage to the motor could turn a repair job into a more expensive garbage disposal replacement project.
- Mold or leaks under or near pipes. When your garbage disposal is damaged, leaks can form. Watch for water damage, or mold growth close to your garbage disposal system. Even if the garbage disposal seems to function normally, a broken seal will still leak.

A malfunctioning garbage disposal can be dangerous. The blades are powerful enough to cause severe injury. If you think something is blocking the garbage disposal from working quickly, do not attempt to place your hand in the drain to free it. Call in an expert.
In most cases, you’re better off preventing clogs from forming in the first place. This is the best form of maintenance, and you can do it yourself! Make sure only small pieces of food residue are placed into the garbage disposal. Grainy, fibrous items are better off in the trash.
