Most people don’t give much thought to their garbage disposal - as long as its working right. These humble-but-mighty devices sit quietly under the sink and grind up food scraps and help your drains run smoothly. When they’re working right, they save you from clogs, foul odors, and plumbing headaches.
Like almost anything we own, garbage disposals do need care, repairs, and sometimes a full replacement. If it's time to give your garbage disposal some attention, then call or message Acknowledge Plumbing to schedule an appointment or request urgent garbage disposal repair in Roseville, CA today.
A garbage disposal installation doesn’t 'cut up' food scraps the way some people imagine. Instead, it uses a spinning plate with impellers to grind food waste against a shredder ring. Water washes the tiny particles down the drain. By simply breaking down scraps into smaller pieces, the garbage disposal makes it easier for your plumbing system to 'digest' what goes through.
It’s a clever design, but because these devices handle grease, fibrous foods, and occasional silverware that slips inside, they’re not indestructible. Over time, parts wear down, motors burn out, and blades dull.
For homeowners, a working disposal means less worry about kitchen clogs and smelly trash. For restaurants and businesses, it keeps kitchens running efficiently and prevents downtime caused by plumbing backups. No matter which group you fall into, having a reliable disposal saves time, money, and hassle.
Our kitchen drain was draining directly under the house creating a small lake of soap and mud. Several plumbers were called but all were a week or more out. We reached out to a lesser known company, Acknowledge Plumbing, and within a coupe of hours, we had a plumber on site and the problem resolved. It turns out some rodent(s) chewed through the coupling causing the discharge under the house. We are grateful to Acknowledge for their quick response, professional service, and friendly interaction.We are saving their number for any future plumbing problems that may arise. We were very satisfied with this company and highly recommend them to anyone with plumbing issues.
Felix came out to work on my reverse osmosis system. It turned out I need new system but he was thorough, explained everything in detail, and was reasonably priced. I've already teed him up for my next plumbing project. I highly recommend Felix and the Acknowledge Plumbing team.
Called Acknowledge Plumbing to fix an issue with my water pressure & piping. Steve came out the next day to provide a free estimate. He was very knowledgeable and provided some cost saving options to try before needing to do major work. Greatly appreciate the responsiveness & ability to act and respond in the best interest of the customer from this company. Definitely will give them a call for future plumbing needs.
We had an urgent need for help with our water heater on a holiday weekend (is was leaking and needed to be replaced). We were not optimistic that we would get anyone to answer a call, let alone make availability for a service call. Not only did Acknowledge Plumbing pick up the phone, but Savina was stellar in finding us a tech for the same day, and provided updates on her progress in near real time - this is highly unusual these days. Felix connected with us, discussed options for a new unit, procured it and arrived the same day. He was a pleasure to have so the work and got the whole project turned around that afternoon. They are at the top of our virtual Rolodex.

Even the best disposals don’t last forever. In fact, the average lifespan is around 8 to 12 years. If yours is older, frequently breaks down, or needs constant resets, then it may be smarter to replace it - believe it or not. We typically recommend a garbage disposal replacement if the cost of repair is more than half the price of a new unit.
