Garbage Disposal Problems

Hum but Don't Spin

A tripped reset button or a bad switch.

Drain Slowly

A clog in the drain line past the disposal.

Local Knowledge

Garbage Disposals in Mokena Kitchens

Many Mokena kitchens still have the disposal the builder installed.

Original Units Wearing Out

Disposals usually last about 10 years. Many here are older than that.

Island Sinks

Disposals in island sinks drain through long runs, so clogs settle past the unit.

Upgrades During Remodels

When the kitchen gets new counters and a sink, it's a good time for a new disposal.

Dishwasher Connections

In most Mokena kitchens the dishwasher drains through the disposal. When the disposal clogs, the dishwasher backs up too, so we check both.

Garbage Disposal Questions From Mokena Homeowners

Usually a jam.

Usually something is jammed in it. Don't keep running it. If the reset button and a turn with the hex key don't loosen it, call us.

If it's leaking from the housing or old, replace it.

If it's leaking from the body or over 10 years old, replacing it usually makes more sense.

Grease, bones, fibrous food and coffee grounds.

Grease, bones, fibrous foods like celery, eggshells and coffee grounds cause most problems.

Usually, if there's power under the sink.

Usually. We need an outlet or wiring under the sink and the right drain setup.

Often a clogged disposal or drain line.

Usually the disposal or the drain past it is clogged, so dishwasher water has nowhere to go. Clearing the disposal or the line fixes it. If the disposal is new, the knockout plug may still be in place.

Some are made for it.

Some disposals are made for septic systems. If your home is on septic, tell us before we install.

Loose parts or worn bearings.

Something stuck inside, loose mounting or worn bearings. We'll find out which.

It depends on the unit. You'll approve a flat price first.

It depends on the unit and the connections. You'll approve a flat-rate price before we start.
