Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
Is your garbage disposal making strange sounds when you turn it on? Or does your disposal just hum when you try to run it? Garbage disposals are relatively simple machines. They contain a motor and spinning blades. However, anything with movable parts is susceptible to jamming or clogging, especially if it is being overburdened or if it's an older machine. Whether you need a garbage disposal repair, replacement or you're not sure, American Servicers can help.

American Servicers's Garbage Disposal Repair Services
When we get a call to fix a garbage disposal, there are a handful of common issues that we see with disposals. After checking for those obvious issues such as a problem with a breaker needing to be reset and ruling out a faulty power switch, the next step our team takes is to look at the disposal itself.
- Garbage Disposal Clogs: We frequently find an item lodged in the flywheel or between the wheel and the shredder ring that has caused the disposal to freeze. American Servicers will remove any trapped items and check to ensure that the lodged item did not cause harm to any other components.
- Garbage Disposal Leaks: Another frequent garbage disposal issue involves leaking. If your disposal is leaking, we'll determine the cause and work quickly to implement a solution. Leaks can come from the bolts and putty on the disposal itself, or with a breach in the connection between the dishwasher and sink or in the drainpipe. We'll take a look at all of those connections and ensure that the leaking stops.
- There are other issues that come up with garbage disposals and American Servicers has probably seen them all. If we determined that your disposal has used out its useful life, we can recommend and install new disposal for you.
