When to Replace or Repair a Garbage Disposal

Replacing your garbage disposal doesn't need to be done often. In fact, you may be able to get as much as 15 years out of a garbage disposal if you're taking care of it properly. That said, there are some things to watch for if you're concerned yours isn't going to last much longer.


  • It's loud, but it doesn't break anything down.
  • It stinks a lot, and you can't fix it.
  • It's slow to break down food.



  • It gets clogged frequently when you use it.
  • It's always leaking.
  • It just doesn't work.


If you notice your garbage disposal has any of the factors we mentioned above, you'll want to talk with a professional plumber. They can take a look at your disposal and try repair methods to get it up and working again. If they can't, or if the problem keeps coming back, it's probably time to replace your garbage disposal.


How Long Do Garbage Disposals Last?

In general, a garbage disposal will last about 10-12 years. But if you're diligent about taking care of it, you may be able to get that number up to 15 years or possibly even more. 

How Long Do Garbage Disposals Take to Install? 


If you hire a professional garbage disposal repair service to install your new garbage disposal, it could be
