Garbage Disposal Repair Services We Offer
Garbage disposals are built for convenience, but when they stop working, they cause nothing but a long-drawn hassle. If yours is leaking, jammed, or not grinding properly, it’s time for professional garbage disposal repair in Plainfield.
At OC Property Solutions, we repair garbage disposal issues quickly so you can get back to cooking and cleaning without the hassle. Here are the garbage disposal issues we can fix:
Fixing a Clogged Garbage Disposal
Disposals aren’t made to handle grease, fibrous foods, or coffee grounds, but that doesn’t stop them from getting tossed in. When fixing a clogged garbage disposal, we safely clear jams using manual rotation, drain-clearing tools, and professional cleaning methods to get them back to normal. If the clog goes deeper into your plumbing, we can also recommend drain cleaning to fully clear the line and prevent future backups.
Repairing Faulty Seals & Connections
Leaks in garbage disposal units are often caused by loose connections, cracked seals, or worn-out gaskets. We check the sink flange, drain lines, and mounting assembly and replace worn parts to stop leaks before they damage your cabinetry. If we discover any hidden plumbing issues during the repair, our full plumbing services are ready to handle anything else that comes up.
Troubleshooting Motor & Electrical Issues
If your disposal won’t turn on, hums, or trips the breaker, there’s likely a motor or electrical failure. We test wiring, reset buttons, and control switches to ensure your unit is safe for use before recommending repairs or replacement.
Fixing Blunt Blades & Poor Grinding
A garbage disposal that runs but doesn’t grind food properly likely has dull impellers or a failing grind ring. As part of our garbage disposal repair services, we assess the wear, sharpen what we can, and replace parts if needed.
Repairing Loose and Worn Parts
The constant vibration of daily use can loosen screws, bolts, and internal components. If your disposal rattles, shakes, or vibrates loudly, we tighten and secure everything to keep it operating smoothly — avoiding bigger plumbing headaches like leaks that could lead to a water line repair down the road.

Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
What size garbage disposal do I need?
The appropriate size of a garbage disposal depends on your household’s needs. For a 1-2 person household, a 1/3 or 1/2 horsepower (HP) motor is typically sufficient. For 3-6 people, consider a 1/2 to 3/4 HP motor. Larger households of 5-8 people may benefit from a 3/4 to 1 HP motor to handle increased usage efficiently.
How many years should a garbage disposal last?
A well-maintained garbage disposal typically lasts between 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance, such as avoiding hard or fibrous foods and running cold water during operation, can help extend its lifespan.
How long does it take a plumber to replace a garbage disposal?
A professional plumber can usually replace a garbage disposal in about one to two hours. The exact time depends on factors like the complexity of the installation, accessibility, and whether any modifications to existing plumbing are necessary.
