Brevard County’s humid subtropical climate means hot, humid summers, mild winters, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and an average temperature around 72°F with plenty of sunny days. That year-round warm weather keeps kitchens busy—more cooking, more rinsing, and more food scraps going down the sink. When your garbage disposal jams, leaks, or stops turning on, everyday cleanup quickly becomes a hassle.
Misuse is one of the top reasons disposals fail. Plumbing experts warn that grease, fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, bones, eggshells, and starchy foods like rice and potato peels can clog drains, dull blades, and burn out motors over time. If your disposal is struggling, making loud noises, or just humming, it is important to address the problem before it affects your sink drain or kitchen plumbing.
At Inlet Mechanical, we offer residential garbage disposal repair & replacement services for homeowners across Brevard County, FL—including Palm Bay, Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, Sebastian, Satellite Beach, and Melbourne Beach. Whether you need a quick repair, a like-for-like replacement, or an upgrade to a quieter, more powerful model, our licensed plumbers will get your kitchen sink back to normal with clean, code-conscious work.
“Our garbage disposal kept jamming and finally quit. Inlet Mechanical installed a new, quieter unit, checked the drain, and had everything working again in no time.”
— Chris M., Homeowner, Melbourne
As part of our kitchen plumbing services, we handle everything from minor garbage disposal fixes to full sink-base replacements. Our plumbers arrive with the tools and parts needed to repair or replace most residential units in a single visit, keeping your Brevard County kitchen cleaner, quieter, and easier to use.
In Brevard County’s warm, humid climate, slow drains and leaks under the kitchen sink can quickly lead to musty odors, warped cabinets, and even mold. If you are seeing any of these warning signs, it is a good time to have Inlet Mechanical inspect your disposal and drain to determine whether a repair or replacement is the best move.
For many Brevard County homeowners, upgrading an older, noisy, or unreliable disposal is a small change with big daily benefits—less mess, fewer clogs, and a kitchen sink that keeps up with how your family really cooks and cleans.
If your garbage disposal is more of a headache than a help, it is worth having a professional take a look. Inlet Mechanical will evaluate your unit, review repair vs. replacement options, and recommend a solution that fits your Brevard County home and budget.

Frequent jams are usually a sign of what is going into the disposal—or that the unit is underpowered or worn out. Common culprits include fibrous foods (like celery, corn husks, and onion skins), starchy foods (like potato peels, rice, and pasta), coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and grease. These items can wrap around the impellers, form sticky pastes, or harden inside the drain line. In your Brevard County home, our plumber will ask about how the disposal is used, clear the jam with proper tools, and let you know whether the unit is still in good shape or if an upgrade would be more cost-effective.
Most experts recommend keeping anything hard, stringy, greasy, or expand-able out of the disposal. That includes bones, fruit pits, shells, fibrous vegetables (such as celery and corn husks), large amounts of eggshells, coffee grounds, pasta, rice, potato peels, grease, fats, and cooking oils. These materials can damage the disposal, clog pipes, and lead to costly repairs. Inlet Mechanical can provide a simple list of do’s and don’ts tailored to your disposal model, so your Brevard County kitchen plumbing stays in good shape.
It depends on the age of the unit, the severity of the problem, and how often you use it. If your disposal is relatively new and the issue is limited to a simple jam, loose connection, or minor part, a repair usually makes sense. But if the motor is burned out, the casing is cracked, the unit is very noisy, or it is 10–12+ years old, replacement is often the better long-term value—especially if you want a quieter or more powerful model. In Brevard County, we typically inspect the disposal, discuss your household’s usage, and then provide both repair and replacement options so you can choose what works best for your home and budget.
