Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement
Humming, leaking or completely dead? We repair and replace garbage disposals, and most replacements are done in a single visit.
Common disposal problems
- Hums but won't spin (usually jammed)
- Won't turn on at all, or keeps tripping the reset button
- Water leaking from the bottom of the unit or the drain connections
- Kitchen sink draining slowly or backing up on the disposal side
- Loud grinding or rattling, or a bad smell that won't go away
Repair or replace?
A jammed disposal can often be freed and reset. Leaks at the sink flange or drain connections can be resealed. But when water is leaking from the body of the unit itself, the internal seals have failed and the disposal needs to be replaced. Most disposals last around 8 to 12 years.
Disposal replacement
We replace disposals with the right size for your household, from 1/2 HP to 1 HP models, and reconnect the drain, dishwasher hookup and power so everything works and nothing drips. We'll haul the old unit away.
Keep it running
Run cold water while the disposal is on and for a few seconds after. Keep grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and fibrous scraps like celery out of it. Those are the most common causes of jams and kitchen drain clogs.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my disposal hum but not turn?
It's usually jammed. Turn off the power and never put your hand inside. Many units have a hex socket on the bottom to free the blades. If it still won't turn or keeps tripping, it may need repair or replacement.
What size disposal do I need?
A 1/2 HP unit is fine for light use. Families who cook a lot usually do better with 3/4 HP or 1 HP, which grind faster and jam less.
Can you replace a disposal the same day?
Usually, yes. We carry common disposals on our trucks.
