That’s why we have a trained and certified plumbing repair team on call and ready to help at all times. No matter the problem – or the time of day – we’re here to help fix or replace your garbage disposal.

Disposals aren’t the most complex plumbing appliance in your home. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have quite a few working parts. Each one of these units can encounter complications that may leave you without a working disposal, which can result in a stinky sink area or worse. You need experts who can act fast and decisively, accurately diagnosing the issue at hand and supplying a garbage disposal repair service that sets things right immediately. If your garbage disposal is beyond repairs, our professionals will provide your home with a new replacement to get your kitchen sink working as good as new again.

The team at Shane Elmore is the team to trust for garbage disposal services! We’ve offered plumbing and garbage disposal repair services to the Bowling Green area for many years. With the benefit of our equipment and experience on your side, you can be certain everything will be handled in a timely manner.

Reach out to our plumbing experts if you notice any of the following:

• Metal-on-metal grinding or loud noises. Over time, garbage disposals can begin to wear out, or mechanical parts may begin to loosen. This can lead to a loud and alarming grinding sound that, if left alone, can lead to the complete destruction of the unit itself.
• The disposal fails to grind food waste effectively. Most commonly this will be an issue with the blades – either they will be dulled, bent, or misaligned. Our experts can diagnose this problem and fix it in no time.
• The disposal is leaking. Plumbing leaks are one of the most potentially damaging issues a homeowner can wind up dealing with. If your disposal is leaking, call us right away! Our leak detection and repair experts can have the issue handled as swiftly as accuracy will allow.
• The disposal is jammed. Jamming can happen when either the wrong kinds of food are placed in the disposal (fibrous vegetables, bones, coffee grounds) or if the blades are bent in a way that prevents operation.
• Disposal refuses to engage when switched on. Though they’re often lumped in with most plumbing appliances, disposals still use electricity. This means it’s possible to encounter issues like loose connections or wire damage, which will require professional service.

Here are some things to never put in your disposal if you want to keep it running smoothly:

• Coffee grounds
• Pasta
• Bones
• Oatmeal
• Nuts
• Onion skins
• Eggshells
• Potato peels
• Paint

Don’t throw any of these items down the drain, and keep your garbage disposal running clog-free.

For over three decades, our team has helped home and business owners in the Bowling Green area get access to top-of-the-line plumbing service. When your disposal gives you trouble, just give us a call and we’ll be there to handle things right away!
