Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Tackle

  • Jammed motor. If you notice a humming sound from your disposal, it may have a jammed motor due to foreign objects like silverware or debris.

How Long Do Garbage Disposals Last? 

Most modern garbage disposals have an average lifespan of 8-15 years. However, the exact lifespan of your disposal will depend on various factors, including the type of system, usage patterns, and maintenance frequency. If your system is nearing the end of this timeframe, it might be time for a replacement. 

Signs of a Failing Garbage Disposal

Knowing when to replace a failing garbage disposal is key to maintaining your indoor comfort and preventing expensive damage. Here are some telltale signs your system needs replacing: 

  • Foul odors
  • Constant clogs
  • Frequent resets
  • Leaks under your sink
  • Abnormal noises, such as grinding, scraping, or whirring

If your disposal is exhibiting any of these red flags, don’t hesitate to contact Tennessee Plumbing! We offer a broad range of top-tier products to help you find a suitable replacement for your needs and budget.
