Garbage Disposal Repair

Your garbage disposal probably sees a lot of use, but you probably don’t give it much thought unless a problem arises. Disposals are some of the most frequently used kitchen appliances. They provide a convenient means of getting rid of food waste, and they are relatively self-sufficient and reliable. All the wear and tear that comes from frequent use tends to take its toll, though, and breakdowns occasionally occur. In many instance, garbage disposal problems are simple and relatively easy to repair. Because these appliances can be quite dangerous, however, it’s best to leave the repair work to the professionals. If you are in need of garbage disposal repair in Greenville, SC, we can help.

When you need garbage disposal repair in Greenville, SC and the surrounding areas, depend on the experts at Corley. We can handle a wide range of common problems, including:

• Foreign Objects Stuck in the Unit. While food is the only thing that belongs in a garbage disposal, sometimes utensils and other objects find their way inside. When metal, plastic, wood and other foreign materials end up in a disposal, they prevent it from functioning like it should. Trying to remove something from the blade yourself is extremely dangerous. Let our experts get the job done safely.
• Certain types of food, like fibrous vegetables, fats, grease and oils should not be put down garbage disposals. They tend to build up over time, and they can cause some pretty nasty clogs. In addition to preventing your disposal from working, clogs can cause nasty odors in your kitchen.
• When too much food is put in a garbage disposal at once, the system may shut down. This prevents the garbage disposal from overheating. In most cases, resetting the unit should do the trick. If food is lodged in the blades, though, resetting may not solve the problem.
