Frequently Asked Questions

How do you unclog a garbage disposal?
Start by turning off the power to the disposal to avoid injury. Use a flashlight to check for blockages and remove them with tongs or pliers, never your hands. If the clog is deeper, you can try turning the flywheel manually using a hex key in the reset slot underneath, then run cold water while operating the disposal. If it's still not draining, the problem may be in the plumbing or the unit's motor. At that point, it's safest to call RooterPLUS! so our technicians can clear the clog without causing damage.
Can you have a garbage disposal with a septic tank?
Yes, but you’ll need to be cautious. Food waste from the disposal adds to the solids in your septic tank, which can lead to more frequent pump-outs and potential system strain. Use the disposal for small scraps only, avoid grease or fibrous foods, and consider a septic-safe model. If you’re unsure about your setup or need guidance on installation, RooterPLUS! can recommend and install the right garbage disposal for homes with septic systems.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking?

Leaks can happen for several reasons. If water is dripping from the top, the sink flange seal may be worn out. Leaks from the side could mean a loose or damaged connection to the dishwasher or drain line. Water coming from the bottom often signals a failed internal seal, which usually requires replacing the unit. If you notice any leak, call RooterPLUS! right away, our team will find the source, fix the problem, and prevent further water damage.

What should you not put in a garbage disposal?
Avoid putting anything in your garbage disposal that can damage the blades, clog the pipes, or cause unpleasant odors. This includes grease, fats, oils, fibrous foods like celery or corn husks, hard items such as bones or fruit pits, large amounts of starchy foods like pasta or potatoes, and anything that isn't food. If you're unsure whether something is safe to grind, it's best to skip it. If your disposal becomes jammed or damaged, our team can repair or replace it quickly so your kitchen stays functional.
