Time for a new garbage disposal?

The average garbage disposal can last 10 years provided it was properly installed and cared for. Accidental damage and neglect can cut that life expectancy short though. While many problems with garbage disposals can be repaired, there are some issues that may be irreparable. Examples of irreparable damage that call for a garbage disposal replacement include:

• A cracked or damaged housing
• An overheated or otherwise damaged motor
• Severely damaged impellers

The professional plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing will exhaust every solution before resorting to a complete replacement, but the issues mentioned above are usually too expensive to repair, making a replacement the cost-effective option.
