When It’s Time To Replace
Not every garbage disposal can be repaired—and sometimes, replacement is the smarter, more cost-effective choice. If your unit is over 8–10 years old or showing signs of serious wear, upgrading to a new model can save you from recurring issues and potential kitchen damage.
Here are common signs that it may be time for a new disposal:
Frequent clogs or jams
Even with proper use, older units may struggle to handle everyday waste.
Loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises
Worn or damaged internal components often lead to excessive noise and inefficiency.
Persistent odors
Built-up food residue or trapped debris can be difficult to eliminate in aging systems.
Water leaking from the bottom
This usually indicates a failed seal or cracked casing that can't be repaired.
The motor won’t turn on
If the reset button doesn’t help and power is reaching the unit, the motor may be burned out.
If you’re unsure whether to repair or replace, we’ll inspect your system, explain your options, and help you choose the best long-term solution

Signs It’s Not Installed Correctly
We often get calls to fix someone else’s work. A poor installation can cause bigger problems than just a noisy sink.
Look out for:
- Water pooling under your sink
- Constant clogs in the same drain
- Loose mounting or vibration
- Odors that won’t go away
- Reset button tripping frequently
If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth letting a licensed plumber take a closer look.
What To Avoid With A New Disposal
After your garbage disposal replacement, taking care of the system helps it last longer. Here’s what we recommend avoiding:
- No bones, shells, or fibrous foods (like celery or corn husks)
- No fats, oils, or grease
- No coffee grounds or starchy foods like pasta or rice
- No harsh drain chemicals
Stick to cold water when in use, and always let it run for a few seconds after grinding. We’ll walk you through all this when we install your new system.
If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay

Colebee from Running Water Plumbing installed a gas line and also fixed a broken exterior faucet at my home. He showed up right on time and worked quickly and efficiently. Without me even asking, he helped remove my old oven and install the new one, which I really appreciated. The quality of work was solid and the whole process was smooth. I highly recommend Running Water for any plumbing needs. Thanks again.

Colebee was on time and very professional. He wasn’t satisfied with the quality of some of the previous parts so he replaced them at a fair price to ensure no further issues with my toilet repair. Highly recommend for any of your plumbing issues.

Colebee and Brody were professional and awesome. He help me add a loop for the water softener in my basement and did the plumbing for my kitchen remodel. They will clean up the site really well and I am happy with the experience.
