Garbage Disposal Installation, Repair & Replacement
Garbage disposals are the workhorse of your kitchen. So much so that these systems are often taken for granted. However, if you are finding that your garbage disposal isn’t performing like it used to, it is time to call My Georgia Plumber. Our highly trained plumbers offer fast, reliable and high-quality garbage disposal services to properties in Canton and throughout the greater North Metro Atlanta area.
6 signs your garbage disposal needs servicing:
- Your garbage disposal won’t turn on.
- You hear loud and unusual noises when you turn the system on.
- There is an unpleasant smell coming from the unit.
- You constantly need to reset the unit.
- You notice water leaking from the system.
- The system has become ineffective.
The Dos & Don’ts of Using Your Garbage Disposal
Garbage disposals are incredibly useful tools, but unfortunately, they cannot do it all. To ensure your system lasts for as long as possible, our team is sharing tips for using your garbage disposal.
Do:
- Run cold water while you are using your disposal.
- Continue to run cold water down the drain after you turn off the disposal to ensure everything is flushed through.
- If you are smelling the buildup of old food, keep the system clean by pouring a cup of small ice cubes and dish soap down while running your disposal.
Don’t:
- Pour grease of liquid fat down the drain. It can quickly solidify and gum up your system.
- Try to break down starchy foods like flour, pasta and rice.
- Put coffee grounds, eggshells, corn cobs and husks or tea bags down the system.
If you are experiencing any one of the above issues, call our team today at 770-268-2331

Stick to soft food scraps like fruit peels, cooked vegetables, and small bits of leftovers. Avoid grease, bones, coffee grounds, and fibrous items like celery or corn husks.
It could be a jam, a tripped reset button, or motor failure. Try resetting it, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll inspect and repair or replace it as needed.
Definitely! We install all major brands and ensure your plumbing and electrical connections are safe and up to code.
Horsepower (HP) refers to the power of the motor. A 1/3 or 1/2 HP unit is good for light use, while a 3/4 or 1 HP disposal is ideal for larger households or frequent use. If you cook often or want something quieter and more durable, we recommend going with a 3/4 HP or higher.
