How we work
Repair, replace, or clear the line
- 1
Diagnose the real cause
A backed-up sink is often the drain line, not the disposal. Replacing the unit would not have fixed it.
- 2
Repair when the unit is sound
Jams, reset issues, and connection leaks are usually repairable without a new unit.
- 3
Replace when it is worn out
A leaking body or seized motor means replacement, and we install and connect the new unit properly.
The details
What not to put down a disposal
Grease, fibrous vegetable peels, coffee grounds, pasta, and rice cause most of the clogs we clear in kitchen lines.
If the line beyond the disposal has already built up, clearing the drain matters more than the appliance itself.
Common garbage disposal problems
A disposal that hums but does not spin is usually jammed. One that does nothing at all is often a tripped reset button or a failed switch. Leaks come from the sink flange, the dishwasher inlet, or a cracked housing, and only the last one requires a new unit.
If the sink backs up whenever the disposal runs, the disposal is likely fine and the drain line downstream is clogged. We clear the line as part of the same visit rather than sending a second truck.
Repair, replacement, and installation
Most units are repairable, so we check the reset, the jam, the wiring, and the seals before recommending a replacement. When a disposal is worn out or the housing has cracked, we replace it and can install a unit you already purchased.
We also fix the habits that kill disposals: grease, fibrous vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and pasta are the usual culprits, and avoiding them adds years to the unit.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
My disposal just hums. Is it broken?+
Usually not. That is typically a jam, and it is often repairable in one visit.
Can you install a disposal I already bought?+
Yes, we can install a supplied unit and make the drain and electrical connections correctly.
Why does my sink back up when I run the disposal?+
That usually points to a clog in the drain line downstream, which we clear as part of the visit.
