Call CDS To Schedule a Garbage Disposal Consultation
If your garbage disposal is not working or humming, it is likely that there is something blocking its rotation. That something can be something as simple as a piece of food caught in the blades, or it could be something more complicated like a build-up of grease and food particles. If this is the case, you will need to call CDS to schedule a garbage disposal consultation. Our experienced professionals will be able to inspect your disposal and determine the best course of action for fixing it.
How do I find my Garbage Disposal’s model number?
If your garbage disposal is more than a year old, it’s likely that the model number has been lost over time or forgotten. Garbage disposals have unique model numbers that can be found on the bottom of the unit. To find your model number, turn off your garbage disposal by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet and removing the drain stopper. Place your hand over the hole where water flows out of the disposal and look for a stenciled label that lists your model number. If you can’t find the label, search online for your unit’s model number.
How can I determine if it is worth fixing my garbage disposal?
If you are thinking about repairing your garbage disposal, there are a few things to consider first. First, is the unit actually broken? If it seems like the disposal just doesn’t seem to be draining properly, or if there is debris built up inside of it, then it is likely that the unit needs to be replaced. However, if the unit just won’t spin or grind food properly, there may not be anything wrong with it and you can try to fix it yourself. Here are a few tips for determining if it is worth fixing your garbage disposal:
- -First, try turning off the power to the unit and plunging a broom or stick into the drain to see if it will start flowing. If it does, then the unit is most likely broken and needs to be replaced.
- -Next, reach down inside of the disposal and feel around for any obstructions. If you can find something blocking the blades or impellers, then that will also need to be cleaned out before repairs can be made.
- -Finally, use a digital scale to measure how much debris is build up inside of the unit. If the weight of debris is more than 2 cups, then it may be time for

They charged a very good price, great workmanship, and stayed late to get the job done. Not to mention they had to drive all across town to get the water heater I needed (they handled all the warranty paper work and hassle for my water heater that was under manufacturer warranty). Would hire again for future needs. read less

And with his honesty, saved me at least 5k! What impresses me the most was even though I am located in Jersey (this was for our flipper in Seffner area) he accommodated me and didn't try to milk me when I am 1000 miles away. 2 other companies wanted to do complete drain field replacements from the get go and were counting on the fact I was far away and in a jam to close. read less

Considering this was an emergency call on a Saturday morning, the price was excellent, too. I would recommend CDS Plumbing Services to anyone! read less

My girlfriend and I live in a 55 plus adult community that did not install a water line for the refrigerator because back in the 1970’s there was no need. We were tired of making ice in ice trays and I’m used to getting water and ice from refrigerators I’ve had in past residential homes. When I initially spoke with Nora, their dispatcher/gatekeeper, she told me if I was available the same day, Justin, the owner, could meet me and give me an estimate right there on the spot. Mind you I was told upfront there would be a $75 service fee, but it would be waived/deducted from the invoice if we hired them for the job. Once given the total price minus my Veterans discount (which saved us $150) - I shook this man’s hand from Texas, and he said his best men that service the Lakeland area would be out here in three days! Dalton and Timothy did exactly what they were supposed to and installed a water line with a shutoff valve within a cabinet next to where the refrigerator will be installed this week! Quick, efficient, no issues, professional job well done and even told me to have a 3/8”x1/4” brass supply line adapter in case the new fridge line is a 1/4”! I highly recommend this company for any type of plumbing service you need. Strong work ethic, friendly and professional people. Thank you so very much Justin, Nora, Dalton and Timothy!!! God Bless You All! read less
