Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Solve

A garbage disposal is one of the hardest-working appliances in any kitchen, and it often picks the worst possible time to cause trouble. Our team is trained to handle all types of issues quickly and efficiently, drawing on our extensive experience to find the right solution for your home. We see and fix a wide range of common problems.

Here are some of the frequent issues we resolve for our clients:

Unit Won’t Turn On: This can be caused by simple electrical issues, but it often points to a worn-out motor that requires professional service.

Strange Noises: If you hear grinding, rattling, or humming, it likely indicates a jam caused by a foreign object or loose internal components.

Frequent Resets: Constantly having to press the reset button is a clear sign the disposal is overworking and may need replacement.

Water Leaking Under the Sink: A leak is a serious issue that usually means worn-out seals, loose connections, or even cracks in the unit's housing.

Slow Draining & Foul Odors: These problems are often a sign of a significant clog or a buildup of food waste deep in your disposal or drain lines.

We use high-quality parts for every repair and offer same-day service when available. Our team provides honest feedback so you can make the best decision for your home. With our deep knowledge of Melbourne's unique plumbing infrastructure, including its older homes, we deliver solutions that are built to last.

Once we’ve handled the repair or installed a new disposal, we test everything thoroughly to make sure it’s running quietly and efficiently before we leave. This final testing phase ensures that we uphold the high standards of service our Melbourne clients have come to expect from us since 1896.

We install garbage disposals for:

  • Old unit replacements

Our process is designed to minimize disruption to your everyday life, ensuring a seamless transition from old to new. You’ll be left with a clean space, a quiet motor, and a kitchen that runs the way it should. Plus, our familiarity with local water quality helps us recommend the most reliable and durable units for long-term satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Garbage Disposal Typically Last?

The lifespan of a garbage disposal usually ranges between 8 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Regularly cleaning your unit and avoiding overloading it can significantly extend its life. It's wise to consider factors specific to Melbourne, such as the local water quality, which can affect the longevity of the disposal's components. When you work with E.K. Coggin Plumbing, we offer personalized advice on maintaining your disposal amidst these local conditions, helping you get the most out of your appliance.

What Are the Environmental Benefits of a Garbage Disposal?

Using a garbage disposal can significantly reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills. In Melbourne, with its beautiful coastal environment, reducing waste has a direct positive impact on the local ecosystem, including waterways like the Indian River Lagoon. Our services not only focus on efficient repairs and installations but also support sustainable practices that benefit our community. Opting for a garbage disposal encourages environmentally friendly waste management, supporting Melbourne’s broader environmental goals.

Can I Install a Garbage Disposal Myself?
