The garbage disposal is one of the most used machines in the home. Due to heavy use, and water hardness, it’s common for issues to arise. Since most of us don’t have the time or the necessary skills needed to fix a garbage disposal on our own, it’s good to know there are professionals that can help!

Stuck objects can range from a piece of silverware to a fibrous piece of food. First, do not try to remove the object if it is sufficiently jammed! Second, unplug the disposal. Contact a Royal Flush plumber to remove the foreign item.

When your disposal is overloaded it has a feature that automatically shuts it off. This happens to prevent the machine from getting too hot. You can try hitting the reset button; however, if this doesn’t work, then you will need to contact a Royal Flush plumber. The garbage disposal may require some electrical work.
