🛠️ Signs You Need a New Garbage Disposal Installation

Before attempting a messy repair, it is often more cost-effective to upgrade your unit. Here are the clear signs you need a replacement:

• Persistent Leaks: If you notice water pooling under your sink or dripping from the bottom of the unit, you likely have a crack in the housing or damaged seals that cannot be easily repaired. This requires a new disposal installation.
• Frequent Clogging: If your unit is constantly clogging or drains slowly, the grinding components or motor may be weak or dull, resulting in inefficient food breakdown.
• Loud, Unusual Noises: While disposals are noisy, excessive grinding, rattling, or a loud humming noise without grinding often indicates a dead motor or serious internal damage.
• Frequent Resets: Constantly needing to press the red reset button signals an overworked, failing motor that is overheating and tripping the thermal breaker.
• Unit Age: Most garbage disposals last 10-15 years. If your unit is older and experiencing issues, replacement is highly recommended.
