Garbage Disposals

If your sink is full of disgusting dirty water and food, it means your garbage disposal probably is not working properly. That means it’s time to call in the garbage disposal service experts at Stewart Plumbing. Garbage disposals are a wonderfully convenient appliance to have, but as with any modern convenience, when they break down, you are in for some major frustration. Your garbage disposal may be malfunctioning due to:

• Jammed grinder.
• Something stuck in the grinding plates.
• Misuse.
• Failed electrical connection.
• A tripped reset button.
• Excess food remnants.
• Clogs.
