Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair

Because of their typically heavy usage, garbage disposals often break down or need repairs.

Homeowners who cannot fix or replace a garbage disposal on their own can call Abacus Plumbing Austin professionals for help.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Lodged Items

Spoons, jewelry, stringy food, and solid objects are some of the items that commonly get stuck in garbage disposals. Before trying to remove an obstacle, unplug the disposal. If the item is too lodged for easy retrieval, contact an Abacus plumber.

Clogged Disposals

Clogs occur as thick substances build up over time. Solidified grease, food fibers, and dirt are common clog culprits. Inexperienced homeowners should call Abacus experts to clear clogs. We have the equipment and products necessary to quickly and effectively rid disposals of obstructions.

Overload

When garbage disposals get overloaded, they are designed to automatically shut off. if your disposal stops working, it may be because the overload switch has been tripped. Hit the reset button to re-engage the disposal. If that doesn’t work, call Abacus. Your appliance may require a little electrical work to become functional again.
