Our Customers Say It Best

Hear From Our Atlanta Area Customers About Their Dalmatian Plumbing Experience

I am ELATED with Dalmatian Plumbing and with my onsite Professional Plumber, Jim. I called around 8am this morning and received a text round 9:26am confirming my person was in the way. Jim was friendly, courteous and used shoe covers inside my home. He listened tentatively, asked engaging questions to help identify the problem and a plan. I was impressed he took a holistic approach not just about my leak, but details of its impact on the house water system. He confirmed the plan, gave me the cost breakdown, and after approval, initiated the work. He engaged me as needed in the process with updates and patient with my elementary questions. I am so happy with Jim’s work, solving my leaks and organized the chaos of plumbing lines. Thanks to my Plumber Whisper, Jim.

Dalmatian Plumbing did a solid job installing my new gas line. Donald Land handled the work, and he was punctual, careful, and kept me updated as he went. The install was clean and the pricing was fair. I’d definitely use them again for future work.

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.

Simone McDonald

Christian was prompt and quickly assessed the situation. He explained to me what the job entailed and the price breakdown. When additional work was needed, he gave me a discount which I appreciated. He was very respectful and patient to answer all my questions. I was very happy with the service. UPDATE (3/6/26) Garbage disposal needed to be replaced and Jason did a great job doing so in a quick and efficient manner. He was also very kind and respectful and answered all my questions.

J. Mendoza

It is difficult to think of a pleasant plumbing repair experience but that is exactly what Chris provide to my family. He kept us updated regarding his projected time of arrival and actually was always on time. Great knowledge, easy to work with, explains what he is doing, pleasant, well spoken and cleans up his work area. Reasonable price and well above average service. Dalmatian Plumbing is the only company I will use and recommend going forward.

Bernard Breton

I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by Jason Minor, who installed our under-sink water filter. His work was professional, meticulous and neat, reflecting his high level of expertise. Jason's friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge made the entire experience pleasant and stress-free. He ensured that the installation was completed to our satisfaction. I am more than happy to recommend Jason and Dalmatian Plumbing for their outstanding service. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled plumber, I highly recommend reaching out to them.

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.
