Common Signs You Need a New Disposal
If your unit frequently gets stuck or requires constant resetting, it may be reaching the end of its useful life. While some minor issues can be fixed, persistent problems often indicate that the motor or internal components are failing beyond simple repair.
- A persistent humming sound that occurs without any actual grinding action.
- Constant leaks developing under the sink or around the mounting ring.
- Foul odors that remain even after thorough cleaning and deodorizing.
- The unit frequently trips the reset button or the kitchen circuit breaker.
- Water drains very slowly even when the disposal is turned on.
Replacing an old, underpowered unit can save you from the headache of a flooded cabinet or a backed-up sink. Modern systems are designed to be much quieter and more efficient at breaking down waste. Investing in a new installation ensures your kitchen stays clean and your pipes remain clear of debris.

At Burkhardt Heating & Cooling, we follow a detailed process to ensure your new unit is connected perfectly to your existing plumbing and electrical systems. We check every connection to prevent future leaks and verify that the mounting is secure to reduce noise during use.
- We inspect your current sink and drain lines for any signs of wear.
- Our team removes the old unit and cleans the sink flange area thoroughly.
- We install a high-quality mounting assembly with fresh sealant for a tight fit.

FAQs About Garbage Disposal Installation in Milwaukee
Why is my disposal humming but not spinning?
This usually means a piece of food or a foreign object is jammed between the impeller and the grind ring. The motor is trying to turn but is physically blocked. We can safely clear the jam and check for any damage to the motor to ensure the unit is still safe to use.
Can I install a disposal in any type of sink?
Most standard kitchen sinks can accommodate a garbage disposal. However, some thinner stainless steel or very thick ceramic sinks may require specific mounting kits or extra support. We always inspect your sink first to ensure the new unit fits securely and will not cause damage over time.
How do I prevent my new disposal from smelling?
The best way to prevent odors is to run plenty of cold water while using the unit and for 30 seconds afterward. This flushes all food particles out of the chamber. Occasionally grinding citrus peels can also help neutralize odors and keep your kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
What should I never put down my garbage disposal?
Avoid putting fibrous foods like celery, coffee grounds, grease, or eggshells down the drain. These items can wrap around the moving parts or create a thick paste that clogs your pipes. Sticking to soft food scraps and using plenty of water will help your new installation last for many years.
