Frequently Asked Questions

When you have questions, ask a garbage disposal installer! Browse some commonly asked questions here or send us your plumbing-related question. We will reply with an answer promptly.

How Do I Know When My Garbage Disposal is Clogged?

Even when using a garbage disposal correctly, some food or other organic material can become stuck or clog the drain. If you hear a humming noise when trying to operate the garbage disposal, instead of the normal grinding noise, you likely have something stuck in the disposal mechanism. The unit may also run loudly, run and halt, or refuse to run at all. When any of these events occur, your garbage disposal is likely clogged.

What Do I Do if My Garbage Disposal Doesn’t Work?

First, turn your garbage disposal off. Don’t continue to run it when it’s jammed, this will simply burn out the motor. When your garbage disposal doesn’t work, Plymouth Plumbing & Heating has a team of experts ready to help. We carry a range of Insinkerator garbage disposals you can trust to get the job done. We offer repairs, replacements, and installations. If it’s an emergency repair, our Plumbing Technicians are ready to help 24/7.

How Can I Clear a Clogged Garbage Disposal?
  1. Unplug the garbage disposal. Never operate a clogged garbage disposal. You could burn out the motor. You should also never attempt any work on a garbage disposal without first disconnecting the power source.
  2. Clean with natural cleaners (baking soda and vinegar) or Drano. Allow the cleaner to fizz in the drain before washing it down with scalding hot water.
  3. Run water to clear the clog.
  4. Repeat if necessary.
  5. If the clog remains, see if you can locate any item that could be jammed in the garbage disposal and blocking the drain. Remove any items you can free and pluck out.
  6. If a problem still remains, vigorously plunge with a plunger. Be sure to fill the sink so that water covers the plunger.
  7. If the clog remains, it’s time to call a plumber. Plymouth Plumbing & Heating professionals are here to help with garbage disposal repairs, installations, or replacements.
What If My Garbage Disposal Leaks?
  • Leaking from the top? Most likely it is a corroded or loosened sink flange. This is the seal that connects the disposal to your sink. Your disposal needs to be resealed.
  • Leaking from the bottom? The culprit could be broken seals inside the disposal. Internal seals wear out with use, so it’s time to get a new garbage disposal.
  • Leaking from the side? A common problem is drain line leaks. These are connected to the sides of your garbage disposal. The small pipe connects the disposal to the dishwasher. The larger pipe connects the disposal to the sewer. You need to tighten and reseal these connections.

If you are experiencing a leak you can’t fix, call Plymouth Plumbing & Heating today for emergency garbage disposal repair in Sheboygan and nearby areas.. We are available 24/7/365.

Can I Run the Dishwasher if My Garbage Disposal is Broken?

The dishwasher wastewater is typically connected to the garbage disposal through a small hose. If your broken disposal only affects the motor blades, it will not affect your dishwasher drain and discharge. So, it’s safe to use.

How Much Does Garbage Disposal Repair Cost?

Your garbage disposal repair cost will vary according to the problem it presents. Some problems are simple to fix and require no parts or component replacement, while others may require hoses or complete unit replacement. Most garbage disposal repair costs fall between $70 to $400. A Plymouth Plumbing & Heating professional can provide an estimate after examining your garbage disposal problem.

What Should Not Be Put Down a Garbage Disposal?
  1. Coffee Grounds - Although grounds appear finely milled, they are dense and turn paste-like when removed from the filter. This is a surefire way to clog your drain.
  2. Pasta, Rice, and Bread - These foods all absorb water and expand, making them easy culprits for drain clog.
  3. Animal Bones - Bones are too difficult and tough to grind.
  4. Nuts and Shells - Your grinder is simply not built for this type of food.
  5. Pits and Seeds - They are small and hard, not ideal for disposal. Rule of Thumb: If you can’t cut it with a knife, throw it in the trash.
  6. Egg Shells - Their membranes can obstruct the grinder.
  7. Stringy Fruits and Vegetables - The fibrous strands may be good for your health but they are bad for your grinder, especially banana peels, celery, corn husks, or rhubarb.
  8. Potato Peels - Potato peels can catch in the drain. Avoid starchy beans and vegetables as well.
  9. Grease, Oil, and Fat - These can congeal in your pipes, causing a blockage.
  10. Non-Food Materials - This should be obvious. If it isn’t biodegradable food, it should not be thrown down your drain. Paper towels, plastic wrappers, tissues all can lead to major plumbing problems.

REVIEWS

PPH did a great job for us! We were amazed with the solution Zack had to rerouting our kitchen sink drain. It only took Gary & Kyle 2.5 hours including their cleaning up. They both were professional and efficient. Another plumbing company thought it would take 2 guys at least 2 days and would have involved breaking up the concrete floor. Thank you Zack for coming up with an idea that was far more efficient and saved us a lot of money. We highly recommend calling PPH for any plumbing or heating needs.

Had a new boiler system installed on the last week of December '22. So far, the system is noticeably more efficient with having to run less with more radiant heat produced.Gary and his Apprentice worked a long day getting this system installed but not once faltered in their professionalism and knowledge of my unique heating system.I've had numerous jobs done by Plymouth Plumbing & Heating over the course of 11 years in my home. New sink, garbage disposal, faucet and of course working my my old boiler system multiple times.Prices are fair, given the state of the economy and one certainly gets their moneys worth!I highly recommend Plymouth Plumbing & Heating.

Plymouth Plumbing & Heating are absolutely amazing! Our sub pump went out & had flooding. They showed up promptly to help. Zack was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a solution so that we would not run into this problem again. His technicians are efficient & very friendly as well. I will never go to anyone else again! Thank you PP&H!

These guys are a dream. I wish all contractors worked like them. They've done a few well pump projects for us and most recently ran the connection from a new deep well to our water pump, which required coordination with a well driller and concrete subcontractors.They bent over backwards to coordinate with the others on the project to make sure costs didn't blow up and the project was done as quickly as possible. They were awesome about reaching to tell me where things stood with the project before I'd even call for an update. They know their craft and do an excellent job explaining the problem, the possible solutions, and answering questions from people like me who don't generally know anything about plumbing.Huge thanks to Zack (owner) and Gary for always exceeding our expectations. Don't bother calling anyone else - these are the guys you want.

We recently had PPH do a major update in our home (water heater, water softener, iron filter, reverse osmosis, new hose bib & installed a toilet). Zack was very knowledgeable and was able to address our very hard iron rich well water. After updating 30 year old mechanicals, our water is iron free and drinkable. I cannot recommend these folks enough. They are prompt, professional and stand behind their work. Look no further, this is your next plumber.

We called because our drains were backed up and we were not able to use water in the house at all or we had water coming up from the main drain. They showed up quickly and had it all done and taken care of in under an hour! The owner is also a super helpful guy and he came out and got our water heater working for us early in the morning when no one else was available!

We are new to the Plymouth area and had a sewer back up in our house we had only owned 1 week. We called and were told someone would be there in the afternoon. Then we were called and told around noon. Then we were called and told someone would be there in a half hour. Thanks so much for rushing someone over to remedy our issue. Great communication!!!
