Garbage Disposal Installation And Repairs
A DISPOSAL THAT DOES ITS JOB.
A garbage disposal that hums, jams, leaks, or won’t turn on can stop a kitchen. We’ll find out what failed and explain whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.
THE ISSUE
When To Call For Garbage Disposal Services
Many disposal problems start with something that should not have gone in: grease, fibrous scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, bones, or pasta. Leaks often come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or the discharge line rather than the unit body. Before any check, turn the power off at the switch or breaker, and never put a hand inside.

Garbage Disposal Installation
Installing a garbage disposal involves the sink opening, the drain, the dishwasher connection if there is one, and a safe electrical connection. We check all of it before the unit goes in.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICESGarbage Disposal Repair
A disposal that hums, jams, leaks, or won’t start does not always need replacing. We check the unit and its connections safely and explain whether a repair will do.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICESGarbage Disposal Replacement
When a disposal leaks from the unit body, the motor has failed, or repairs no longer make sense, replacement may be the answer. We’ll help you choose a unit that fits your sink, cabinet, and use.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICESJammed Garbage Disposal
A humming disposal that will not spin is usually jammed. There are a few safe checks you can make with the power off. If they do not work, we can free the unit or tell you if it needs replacing.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL SERVICESLeaking Garbage Disposal
A leaking disposal can soak the cabinet and sit close to an electrical connection. Stop using it, keep clear of wet electrical parts, and tell us where the water appears.

GOOD TO KNOW
Garbage Disposal Services
Questions Answered.
Here are answers to questions we hear often. Call if you want to talk through your own situation.
What can I check myself?
With the power off at the switch or breaker, many units have a reset button on the bottom and a hex socket for turning the motor by hand. Never put your hand in the unit.
Is a disposal OK with a septic system?
Not every septic system is suited to a disposal. Check with your septic professional before adding or replacing one.
Why is it leaking?
Common sources are the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, and the discharge line. A leak from the unit body itself often points to replacement.
