St George’s #1 Garbage Disposal Repair Expert

In many cases, professional garbage disposal repair can fix problems such as jams, clogs, or loose blades. However, if the motor has failed, the unit leaks, or the damage is too extensive, replacement is often the better option.

At Iron Mountain Plumbing, Heating, and Air, our licensed plumbers will evaluate your disposal and recommend whether repair or replacement makes the most sense. If a new unit is needed, we can help you choose the right type and size to fit your household needs and ensure it is installed properly for long-lasting performance.

Preventing garbage disposal problems starts with proper use and care. Always make sure only safe food waste goes into your disposal, and avoid pouring grease, oil, or fibrous materials down the drain.

A few simple habits can extend the life of your unit and reduce the need for repairs:

• Run your garbage disposal every few days to keep the blades moving and prevent rust.
• Avoid fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, or onion skins that can wrap around the blades.
• Freshen your disposal by grinding lemon wedges with warm water to eliminate odors.
• Every two weeks, run a cup of rock salt and a handful of ice cubes through the unit to clean the blades and break up buildup.

By following these tips, St George homeowners can keep their garbage disposals working efficiently and avoid unnecessary repairs.
