Unpleasant odors coming from the garbage disposal is often caused by food waste that hasn’t washed down the drains.
A simple solution is to use baking soda and vinegar to clean the unit. After letting baking soda and vinegar react for some time, you can flush it down by running the garbage disposal unit with hot water.
But if this simple drain cleaner doesn’t fix the solution, call John The Plumber! Our plumbers can investigate the issue and fix your smelly garbage disposal in no time!
If your garbage disposal is making a loud noise but it isn’t spinning, you’ve likely got jammed impellers or a malfunctioning flywheel.

Fixing a garbage disposal unit can be more cost-effective than replacing it, but it depends on the situation.
It all depends on the scenario. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to answer this question.
Due to the increased likelihood of a blockage in the garbage disposal, drain, or sewer, or the environmental issues, it’s recommended that you avoid using the garbage disposal for these things:
A garbage disposal is intended to grind up food waste into smaller bits that can be flushed into the sewer system or septic tank.
Regularly cleaning your garbage disposal with baking soda and vinegar is a great way to prevent drain issues and foul smells.
Pour between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain, followed by a similar amount of white vinegar. Let it fizzle for a while!
Later on, plug the sink and fill it with hot water. Pour some more baking soda into this water, then pull the plug.
Once the plug is pulled and the water is draining, turn on the garbage disposal machine. This should wash any food particles that are stuck inside the machine and helps keep your drains clean, too!
If you get a good garbage disposal unit and you use it as recommended by the manufacturer, then you can expect to get about 10-15 years out of your garbage disposal.
When it comes to garbage disposal repairs in Ottawa, it’s recommended that you trust a professional plumber.
If a garbage disposal leaks or any other plumbing problems, you’re going to have a big and expensive mess to clean.
A garbage disposal unit might surprise you!
There’s no spinning blade inside the garbage disposal that will cut your hand off. Instead, there is a spinning surface called an impeller that moves food waste into fixed blades at a high speed. As the spinning surface spins, the food waste is torn to shreds and goes down into your drain where it washes into your sewer or septic system.
