Garbage Disposal

If repairing, always turn the power off to the garbage disposal ! Call us (412) 388-2512 !

Your garbage disposal tells you when it needs attention. That humming sound without spinning? Usually means a jammed flywheel. Those rattling noises? Often signals something trapped in the grinding chamber. At WJ McNabb Plumbing, we’ve heard every concerning sound a disposal can make over our 40+ years serving Pittsburgh homes.

Water appearing under your sink demands quick action. Top leaks point to worn putty or loose sink flanges. Bottom leaks mean failed seals – often requiring a full unit replacement. Don’t let cabinet damage add to your worries.

Watch for these serious signs:

• • Motor suddenly quits working
  • Circuit breaker trips repeatedly
  • Squealing sounds (worn bearings)
  • Slow drains from improper disposal use

Many Pittsburgh homeowners damage their units by disposing of:

• • Fibrous foods (celery, corn husks)
  • Grease and cooking oils
  • Large amounts of potato peels
  • Coffee grounds and eggshells

Four decades of fixing Pittsburgh’s plumbing teaches you a thing or two about garbage disposal care. At WJ McNabb Plumbing, we’ve seen how simple maintenance saves our neighbors from costly repairs.

Start with the basics – run cold water before, during, and after use. This simple step helps push food waste through while protecting your pipes.

Your weekly disposal care checklist:

• • Ice cubes and rock salt for blade sharpening
  • Fresh citrus peels to fight odors
  • Clear splash guard of built-up debris
  • Check water flow stays strong

Watch what goes down your disposal. Those fibrous foods, coffee grounds, and eggshells? They’ll tangle your impellers and create stubborn clogs. Cut food waste into smaller pieces – your motor will thank you.

Fighting disposal odors? Here’s our family’s trusted solution: Mix half a cup of baking soda with one cup of vinegar. Let it work for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water. Stubborn buildup? Grinding ice cubes cleans while it sharpens.

Want your disposal lasting its full 10-15 years? Let WJ McNabb Plumbing check it regularly. We’ll spot small issues before they become big problems. After all, we treat every Pittsburgh kitchen like our own family’s kitchen.
