A broken garbage disposal shuts down the whole kitchen. Believe Plumbing repairs, replaces, and installs garbage disposals for Westchase homeowners throughout the master-planned community of Westchase, and we'll tell you honestly whether yours is worth fixing.
A disposal that hums, won't spin, or won't turn on is often a jam, a tripped reset, or a bad switch. Many of these are quick fixes.
We reseal leaking sink flanges and fix leaking dishwasher and drain connections. If the unit itself is leaking, we'll tell you it's time to replace it.
We install new and replacement disposals sized for your kitchen, connect the dishwasher drain, and test for leaks before we leave.
When the sink backs up through the disposal, the clog is often in the drain line below it. We clear the line, not just the unit.
In Westchase, hard water adds scale to disposals and the drain lines below them, and kitchen grease does the rest. That's why we look at the whole setup: the disposal, the dishwasher connection, and the drain line. If the unit is leaking from its housing or more than about 10 years old, replacement is usually the better value. If it's a jam or a loose connection, it's a repair.
We serve homes and businesses across Westchase, including West Park Village, The Fords, Radcliffe, Harbor Links, Town 'n' Country and Citrus Park.
Westchase is unincorporated Hillsborough County, so plumbing permits go through Hillsborough County. When a job needs a permit, it's part of the job.
Usually, yes. Humming without spinning is most often a jam. If the motor is seizing or the unit is old, replacement may make more sense. We'll check it at your Westchase home and tell you which.
A leak from the bottom of the unit usually means the internal seals have failed, and the disposal needs to be replaced. Leaks at the top (sink flange) or side (dishwasher or drain connection) can usually be repaired.
Grease, fibrous foods like celery and corn husks, bones, coffee grounds, and starchy foods like rice and pasta. They're the main causes of disposal jams and kitchen drain clogs.
