Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement in Louisville

Louisville Garbage Disposal Repair, Replacement & Installation

A garbage disposal is one of those kitchen tools you don’t think about until it quits. When it jams, leaks, or stops turning on, cooking and cleaning get a lot harder. Maeser’s plumbers handle all kinds of garbage disposal problems. We repair them, replace them, and install new ones for homeowners across Louisville, Elizabethtown, and nearby Kentucky communities.

We’ve been in this business for more than forty-five years. From small kitchens in older Louisville homes to new builds in Middletown or Shepherdsville, our plumbers have worked on every setup you can imagine.

Trusted Louisville Plumbers for Garbage Disposal Service

A broken disposal can cause bad smells, drain clogs, or water pooling under your sink. It might even affect your dishwasher. Our plumbers fix these problems fast and make sure your disposal works the way it should.

Installing New Garbage Disposals Safely and Efficiently

Installing a disposal isn’t just connecting wires and tightening screws. You need to make sure the electrical and plumbing lines are safe and watertight. Our team installs new disposals the right way, testing for leaks and noise before we leave. We’ll also help you pick a model that fits your sink and how much you cook.

Repairing Clogged or Malfunctioning Units

If your disposal hums but doesn’t spin, or if it drains slowly, something may be stuck inside. We can clear it safely without damaging the blades. Sometimes grease or food waste hardens from Louisville’s hard water, and that buildup needs to be cleaned out.

Replacing Old or Damaged Garbage Disposals

If your disposal keeps breaking down or leaks around the bottom, it’s time for a replacement. We’ll remove the old unit, check your plumbing and wiring, and install a reliable, energy-efficient model that fits your kitchen.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Louisville homeowners call us for many of the same disposal problems. Here are a few we see all the time.

Disposal Hums but Doesn’t Spin

That humming noise means the motor is running but the blades are jammed. It could be food, a small utensil, or debris. We can free the jam and reset the unit. If the motor has burned out, we’ll recommend the best replacement.

Persistent Leaks Under the Sink

Leaks can come from loose connections, bad seals, or a crack in the housing. We’ll find the source and repair it. If the disposal body itself is split or corroded, it’s safer to install a new one.

Strange Noises or Odors

A loud grinding sound usually means something’s stuck inside. Odors build up from trapped food or grease. We clean and flush the disposal, then show you how to keep it fresh longer.

Unit Not Turning On

If the disposal won’t start, we’ll check the reset button, wall switch, and electrical wiring. Sometimes the issue is simple, like a tripped breaker. Other times, the motor or wiring needs replacement.

Choosing the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Home

Picking the right disposal depends on how you cook and what kind of kitchen you have.

Continuous Feed vs. Batch Feed Models

Continuous feed disposals run while you add food waste, which is great for busy kitchens. Batch feed models grind food only when the stopper is in place, which is safer if you have kids at home. We’ll explain both so you can pick what fits your family.

Power Ratings and Noise Levels

Disposals come in different power levels. Smaller homes can get by with a lower horsepower model, while big families or frequent cooks need something stronger. If your kitchen is open to your living space, we can recommend quieter models that don’t interrupt conversation.

Recommendations for Louisville Homes

Older homes in Louisville often have aging drain lines or smaller under-sink spaces. We help you choose a disposal that fits your plumbing and won’t strain the pipes. Newer homes can take advantage of quieter, higher-efficiency models that handle heavier loads. Hard water in the area can cause buildup, so we often suggest regular cleaning or adding a disposal maintenance plan.
