WHEN THE DISPOSAL STOPS, THE KITCHEN FEELS IT.
Jammed, leaking, humming or completely dead? Our plumbers troubleshoot garbage disposal problems, make dependable repairs and install replacements when your old unit has reached the end of the line.
FROM A STUBBORN JAM TO A BRAND-NEW DISPOSAL.
Garbage disposals work hard and problems can show up quickly. We diagnose what’s happening beneath the sink and get your kitchen plumbing back to working the way it should.
DISPOSAL REPAIR
Humming, unusual noises or poor performance don't automatically mean the unit needs replacement. We'll determine whether a practical repair can get it working again.
JAMMED DISPOSALS
A jammed disposal may hum without turning or stop operating altogether. We'll identify what's preventing normal operation and determine the appropriate fix. We will find the answers
NEW DISPOSAL INSTALLATION
When it's time for replacement, our team installs the new disposal and properly connects it to the sink and drain system. Call today
LEAKING DISPOSALS
Water beneath the disposal can come from the mounting assembly, drain connections or the unit itself. Finding the exact source determines what repair or replacement makes sense.
CHECK IT. CLEAR IT. REPAIR IT.
INSPECT THE DISPOSAL
We check the unit and its accessible sink and drain connections.
IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
Our plumber determines whether you’re dealing with a jam, leak, worn component, connection issue or failed disposal.
TALK THROUGH OPTIONS
If repair is practical, we’ll tell you. If replacement makes more sense, you’ll know why before we proceed.
GET THE SINK WORKING AGAIN
We complete the repair or installation and test the disposal and drain connections before finishing.
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY WRONG.
A disposal that repeatedly jams, leaks or shuts down is telling you something. Instead of temporarily resetting the problem over and over, we’ll figure out what’s happening and recommend a lasting solution.
DIAGNOSE FIRST
We identify the source of the problem before recommending repair or replacement.
PROTECT YOUR KITCHEN
Leaks beneath the sink can damage cabinetry and surrounding materials, so we'll also check the accessible plumbing connections around the unit.
REPAIR OR REPLACE
Our goal isn't automatically selling you a new disposal. We'll recommend the option that makes sense based on the unit's condition.
WHY DID YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL STOP WORKING?
HUMMING, JAMMING & NOISES
A disposal that hums without spinning may be jammed, while grinding, rattling or other unusual sounds can indicate debris or problems inside the unit.
Repeated resets or recurring jams are a sign that the disposal should be inspected rather than continually forced back into operation.
LEAKING OR READY FOR REPLACEMENT?
Leaks can develop around the sink flange, drain connections or disposal housing. Some connection leaks can be repaired without replacing the entire unit.
If the disposal itself is deteriorated, repeatedly fails or leaks from the body of the unit, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
DISPOSAL QUESTIONS? WE CAN HELP.
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
The unit may be jammed or unable to turn normally. Continuing to run a jammed disposal can make the problem worse.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking?
Leaks may come from the sink connection, drain piping, dishwasher connection or the disposal itself.
Can a garbage disposal be repaired?
Many disposal problems can be repaired depending on the age, condition and cause of the failure.
When should I replace my garbage disposal?
Replacement may make more sense when the unit repeatedly jams, frequently needs repairs, has significant internal damage or is leaking from the disposal housing.
Can you install a garbage disposal I purchased?
In many cases, yes, provided the unit is appropriate for the sink and existing plumbing configuration.
Why does my disposal keep tripping or shutting off?
A jam, overloaded motor or another mechanical problem may cause the unit to shut down. Repeated shutdowns should be investigated.
Can a garbage disposal cause a clogged sink?
Yes. Food waste, buildup or problems with the disposal and connected drain piping can contribute to slow drainage or clogs.
