Home Watch Service Blog – Garbage Disposals

As part of our Home Watch Services, we ensure that your home is in good condition by regularly checking your house. During our visits, we run the water into your sink and turn on the garbage disposal to make sure it operates smoothly and without any unusual sounds like a humming noise. We also inspect the drain pipes for any signs of leaks or clogged drainage. If you are doing your own garbage disposal check and it fails to turn on, please ensure that the proper wall switch (if any) and panel box breaker are on. You can also try pushing the reset button on the bottom of the disposal. It’s important to note that for all repairs, you should consult an appropriate, licensed plumber. Never put your hands, silverware or any foreign objects into the disposal to avoid accidents. Lastly, as a Professional Home Watch Company, we check Sinks, Faucets, Drains, and Disposals during our House Checks, so your home is in good hands.
