Our Customers Say It Best

Hear From Our Atlanta Area Customers About Their Dalmatian Plumbing Experience

Excellent experience from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and transparent throughout the process. I needed to replace an older leaking water heater, and they took the time to evaluate everything on site, explain my options clearly, and answer all of my questions. I was out of town while trying to coordinate the project, and they were very accommodating with scheduling. They worked with my timeline and fit the installation in between two trips, which I really appreciated. The installation, done by Jim, was smooth and very well done. He upgraded me to a 50-gallon Bradford White unit at the same quoted price, installed a new expansion tank, shutoff valve, and pan, and handled the permit process as well. The workmanship was clean and professional, and the final result looks great. I also appreciated how respectful and easy to work with they were throughout the whole job. Highly recommend if you’re looking for honest, knowledgeable plumbers who do quality work and provide excellent customer service.

Fernando did an amazing job on my sink repair. I had an issue with leaking and the housing of the faucet was weak and low pressure. The upgrade he did and install was professional and quick! His customer service is excellent and I would recommend this company and him personally hands down and I...

My service person was Chris Hank. He was very knowledgeable and great personality. Money well spent; I highly recommend this company. Before I finished typing this review he actually came back and took the trash that another company left behind.

I recently hired Dalmatian Plumbing for some repair work, and I’m very satisfied with the overall experience. They were professional, arrived on time, and quickly diagnosed the issue. The work was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail, and everything has been working perfectly since. What stood out most was their clear communication—they explained the problem, walked me through the solution, and made sure I was comfortable with the approach before starting. The pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises. Overall, it was a smooth, stress-free experience, and I would definitely recommend Dalmatian Plumbing to anyone in need of reliable plumbing work.

Ray Rehal

We had a main sewer line stoppage and needed help fast, and Dalmatian Plumbing absolutely delivered. They came out immediately, which was a huge relief given how urgent the situation was. The job involved clearing the blockage through the water closet, pulling and resetting the toilet, and running a sewer camera to fully diagnose the issue. Everything was handled efficiently and with real professionalism. They took the time to explain what was going on, showed us the camera results, and made sure the problem was completely resolved before wrapping up. What really stood out was their attention to detail and respect for our home. The toilet was reinstalled perfectly, everything was left clean, and there were no shortcuts taken. On top of that, their pricing was very fair for the amount of work involved, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re dealing with a tough plumbing issue and want someone reliable, knowledgeable, responsive, and reasonably priced, I highly recommend Dalmatian Plumbing. Great service from start to finish.

Jim(Technician) was awesome. Thoroughly explained the diagnosis and steps needed. After completing the repair Jim was able to explain the root cause of the issue. Review Below: Timeliness: Showed up within 5 minutes of quotes time. Efficiency: Drywall was only removed where necessary to make the repair. Kudos to Jim's experience here! Price: Who is ever happy with what it cost to get something fixed? But to be honest, I'm happy and see the value in the spend. Value: Explained the root cause of the issue and provided the solution in a timely manner with a friendly disposition. Will be utilizing Dalmation for my future plumbing needs.

Jack Rudio

I had an amazing experience with Dalmatian Plumbing! I spoke with Simon about my issue, and he sent Gary out the exact same day to check for a leak. To my surprise, the service call was completely free since they didn't find anything—which is incredibly rare these days! They are an honest, reliable company. I will absolutely use them for all future plumbing needs and will confidently refer them to anyone looking for a plumber they can trust.

Why Garbage Disposals Fail in Atlanta Homes

Many metro Atlanta kitchens, especially in established neighborhoods around Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and Acworth, run garbage disposals that are well past their prime. Recurring kitchen-sink clogs put extra strain on an aging unit, and an undersized disposal for a busy household tends to jam and back up more often. When wear like this sets in, a professional assessment is the fastest way to know whether the unit can be repaired or should be replaced. If your sink is also draining slowly or backing up, our drain cleaning service can clear the deeper blockage at the same time.

Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Service

Watch for these warning signs, and call a licensed plumber before a small problem turns into a leak or a full kitchen backup.

It Hums but Won't Grind

A disposal that buzzes or hums when switched on but doesn't turn on is almost always jammed, and running it in that state can burn out the motor. This is a common failure point that our technicians clear safely without damaging the unit or your plumbing.

It Won't Turn On at All

A silent disposal could be due to an electrical fault or a failed motor. Because the problem can sit in the unit, the wiring, or the switch, a licensed plumber should trace the cause.

Leaking Under the Sink

Water pooling beneath the sink usually means a worn seal, a cracked housing, or a loose drain connection. Leaks tend to worsen and can damage your cabinet and floor, so they should be addressed quickly. Our leak detection and repair team pinpoints exactly where the water is coming from before it causes lasting damage.

Persistent Foul Odors

A smell that lingers no matter how often you rinse the disposal often signals food trapped deeper in the unit or the drain line. When odors keep coming back, it is a sign the buildup needs professional attention rather than another rinse.

Loud Rattling or Grinding

New rattling or grinding noises can mean a foreign object is caught inside your garbage disposal or the internal components are failing. Continuing to run a unit that sounds like this can cause further damage, so it is best to have it inspected promptly.

Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Problems

Most disposal failures trace back to what goes down the drain. Fibrous foods like celery and corn husks wrap around the blades, while starchy items such as pasta and potato peels turn to paste and clog the chamber. Grease and oil cool and harden inside the unit and the pipes below it. Non-food items, such as bottle caps and utensils, jam the grinding plate. Whatever the cause, our technicians find the root of the problem and fix it so it doesn't keep coming back. For related fixture issues at the sink, we also handle kitchen faucet and fixture repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Do I need a plumber to replace a garbage disposal?

A garbage disposal replacement involves electrical connections and sealed plumbing fittings, so professional installation protects you from leaks, faulty wiring, and connections that fail later on. Dalmatian Plumbing's licensed technicians install your new unit correctly and ensure the sink and dishwasher drains are sealed and secure.

Q How long does a garbage disposal usually last?

Most garbage disposals last several years before the motor, seals, or grinding components begin to wear out. If your unit is older and jamming or leaking, it may be reaching the end of its life. Our technicians can assess its condition and let you know whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your home.

Q Can a leaking garbage disposal be repaired?

Sometimes. A leak from a loose drain connection or a worn seal can often be repaired, while a leak from a cracked housing usually means the unit needs to be replaced. Because a leaking disposal can damage your cabinet and floor, it is best to have it inspected quickly so we can recommend the right fix before the problem spreads.

Q What should I not put down my garbage disposal?

Do not put grease, oil, or fats into the unit because they can harden and coat the chamber and pipes. Avoid fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, and onion skins because they can wrap around the blades. Stay away from starchy foods such as pasta, rice, and potato peels since they can turn into a thick paste. Do not grind coffee grounds or eggshells because they can collect and form a gritty sludge. Keep bones, fruit pits, and other hard items out of the disposal because the blades cannot break them down. Also, never put non-food items into the unit, including paper, plastic, or utensils.
