Orange County Why Clogged Disposals Need Professional Attention

Fast, Safe, and Professional Help for Clogged Garbage Disposals

A clogged garbage disposal is more than an inconvenience. It can cause drain backups, odors, and even damage your plumbing system if not handled correctly. Our licensed plumbers use safe, non-chemical methods to clear clogs and ensure your drain and disposal system are working the way they should.

We do not recommend using chemical drain cleaners. They can damage rubber seals, corrode metal parts, and make future repairs more expensive. Instead, we use professional tools and techniques that are safe for your pipes and your home.

If your disposal motor is burned out or the clog keeps returning, we can also replace your unit during the same visit using high-quality, long-lasting brands like InSinkErator and Waste King.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my garbage disposal clog so often?

Frequent clogs are usually caused by grease buildup, fibrous foods like celery, or using too much food waste at once. We can clear the clog and show you how to prevent future blockages.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners in my garbage disposal?

No. Chemical cleaners can damage seals, blades, and pipes. We always use safe, mechanical methods to clear the clog.

What should I do if my disposal is humming but not spinning?

Turn it off immediately. It may be jammed or the motor may have overheated. Call us for a quick inspection to avoid damaging the unit.

Can a clogged garbage disposal cause a dishwasher backup?

Yes. Since most dishwashers drain through the same line as the disposal, a clog can push water back into the dishwasher.

What are the most common causes of a clogged garbage disposal?

Grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and fibrous foods like corn husks or onion skins often cause clogs or jams.

Should I run hot or cold water when using my garbage disposal?

Always use cold water while the disposal is running. Hot water can melt grease, which later hardens in the drain and causes blockages.

How can I prevent my garbage disposal from clogging again?

Run plenty of water while grinding, avoid fibrous or starchy foods, and clean the disposal regularly with ice cubes and mild dish soap.

My garbage disposal drains slowly. Does that mean it is clogged?

Yes, a slow drain usually means partial blockage. Our team can clear the line and restore full drainage quickly.

Can you clear a clog and repair leaks during the same visit?

Yes. We always inspect for leaks and can repair or replace seals or fittings while resolving the clog.

Do you offer same-day or emergency service?

Stop struggling with a clogged or slow-draining garbage disposal. Let the professionals at Elder & Young Plumbing restore it to full working order safely and quickly.
