Not sure what’s wrong with your disposal? Here are the issues we troubleshoot and repair every day:
Humming but not grinding – Usually a sign of a jammed flywheel or motor issue
Unit won’t turn on at all – Could be electrical, switch, or internal wiring
Frequent clogs or poor drainage – Often tied to improper usage or buildup in connected pipes
Leaking under the sink – May indicate worn seals, cracked housing, or loose plumbing connections
Loud grinding or rattling noises – Could be something stuck inside or broken internal parts
Foul odors that won’t go away – Caused by trapped food or bacterial growth

Common signs include slow drainage, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, foul odors, and water backing up in sinks, tubs, or toilets.
Basic clogs can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or a drain snake. However, persistent or severe clogs should be handled by a professional to avoid damaging your pipes.
Hair, grease, food particles, soap scum, mineral buildup, and flushing inappropriate items are the most common culprits.
It’s a good idea to schedule professional drain cleaning once a year, or more often if your home is prone to clogs or has older plumbing.
While they can offer temporary relief, chemical cleaners can damage your pipes over time and harm the environment. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.
Plumbers typically use tools like motorized drain snakes, hydro jetting equipment, and video camera inspections to locate and remove clogs thoroughly.
Not when done by professionals. At West Desert Plumbing, Heating & Air, we use clean, efficient methods to minimize disruption to your home.
Drain clearing typically refers to removing a single clog. Drain cleaning is a more thorough process that removes all buildup in the pipes to prevent future issues.
Use drain screens, avoid pouring grease down the sink, be mindful of what you flush, and schedule regular maintenance with a trusted plumber.
