When Should You Replace Your Garbage Disposal?
Not all garbage disposal problems can be fixed with a quick repair. In some cases, replacing the unit is the smarter choice especially if it’s older or causing frequent issues. Here are a few key signs that it might be time to install a new disposal:
1. It’s Over 8–10 Years Old
Most disposals last around a decade. If your unit is reaching that age or older, the internal parts may be worn down, making it less effective and more likely to fail.
2. It Jams or Clogs Often
If your disposal frequently clogs or jams even when you’re using it properly, it could be a sign that the blades are dull or the motor is weakening. Constant resets aren’t normal and usually indicate it’s time for a new unit.
3. You Notice Cracks or Leaks
Leaks under your sink can mean the disposal’s casing is cracked or seals are worn out. These issues often can’t be fully repaired, and a new disposal may be the best solution.
4. It’s Making Loud Noises or Vibrating
Unusual grinding sounds or strong vibrations can signal mechanical failure. If it’s making more noise than usual, the internal components may be damaged or misaligned.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Poway Plumber, Drain & Sewer. We’ll inspect your disposal and let you know if repair is possible or if replacement is the safer, more cost-effective option.
