Common Garbage Disposal Repair Issues
Obstruction
One of the most common issues with a garbage disposal is the annoying grinding noise that you hear whenever someone uses the garbage disposal. While it is expected to hear noises when the garbage disposal is in use, there will be times when the noises will be louder than usual. The loud noise can occur because there is an item stuck in the disposal or the issue can be more serious. Attempting to remove any blockage can be dangerous. Do not try to remove the object if is overly jammed.

A clog can originate from various things, including grease and dirt. Regardless of what is the cause of the clog, it is an issue that will need to be addressed.
