Common Garburator Problems We Fix

Garburators go through a lot of daily use, and over time, parts can wear out or get damaged.

Some of the most common issues we see include:

  • Jammed or stuck units
  • Humming but not grinding
  • Leaks under the sink
  • Bad smells coming from the drain
  • Units that will not turn on at all

These problems often start small but can get worse if they are not fixed early.

Repair or Replace Your Garburator

Not every issue means you need a new unit. Repairs are often a good option when the issue is a jam, a reset problem. If the unit is newer, fixing it can save you money.

Replacement may be the better choice if your garburator is older, leaking, or no longer working reliably. Newer units are quieter, more efficient, and built to last longer.

Our team can inspect your system and help you choose the right option for your home.

What You Can Try Before Calling

There are a few quick things homeowners can safely try before booking a repair.

  1. First, check the reset button on the bottom of the unit or use an Allen key to manually turn the blades. You can also refer to a simple DIY video for step-by-step guidance.
  2. Next, check your breaker panel to make sure power is getting to the unit.
  3. You can also flush the unit with cold water and a small amount of dish soap to help clear minor buildup and reduce odours.

If these steps do not solve the problem, it is best to have a professional take a look to avoid causing further damage.
