Garbage Disposal | Shreveport, LA

When It’s Time for Garbage Disposal Repair or Replacement

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call Southern Air:

• Disposal hums but won’t spin; jammed grinding chamber or failed motor
• Leaking water under the sink from the disposal or connections
• Persistent bad odors even after cleaning and flushing
• Slow draining or standing water in the sink after use
• Frequent resets or tripped breaker when you run the unit
• Loud grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal noise during operation
• Unit is more than 10–12 years old and showing multiple issues

Our Garbage Disposal Service Process

Southern Air’s plumbers take a thorough, professional approach to every disposal job:

• Inspect the disposal, drain connections, and electrical supply to identify the root cause
• Test the reset button, check for jams, and assess grinding chamber condition
• Provide clear repair or replacement options with upfront pricing; no surprises
• Remove and dispose of old units properly; install new disposals with correct mounting and sealing
• Verify electrical connections are safe and up to code
• Test operation and check for leaks before we leave
• Walk you through care tips and what to watch for in the future

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Choice

Not every disposal problem requires a new unit. Minor jams, reset issues, and some leaks can be repaired quickly and affordably. However, if your disposal is over a decade old, showing rust, or requiring frequent fixes, replacement is often the smarter long-term investment. A new, properly sized disposal runs quieter, grinds more efficiently, and comes with a manufacturer warranty. Southern Air will always give you honest guidance on whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your situation and budget. If a simple fix will keep your disposal running reliably, we’ll tell you. If it’s time to upgrade, we’ll help you choose the right model for your household size and kitchen habits.
