Any of these? Call Mike. He'll tell you on the phone whether it needs a visit today.
Most disposal problems are jams, a tripped reset button or a loose drain connection, and those are repairs. A disposal that leaks from the bottom of the unit itself has a cracked housing and has to be replaced. The same goes for a motor that has burned out.
Run cold water before, during and after using the disposal, and feed scraps in a little at a time. Keep grease and fibrous food out of it. Mike covers the right way to clean a garbage disposal.

Had backup and they came out in half hour on a Sunday and got the blockage resolved. They cleaned up after themselves. Very very professional people.
They tell me what is worth doing or not doing, and won't try to upcharge me. The work is always great. They are my go-to!
Found my outdoor cleanout that was covered up for years and no other company could find! … They use drop cloths and clean up when they are done.
Very knowledgeable, attention to detail, extremely neat and organized. We highly recommend Plumbing Doctor.
