Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation
Jammed, humming, leaking, or slow-draining garbage disposals repaired, and new disposals mounted and connected under kitchen sinks.
A garbage disposal that hums without spinning, leaks under the sink, or leaves the sink full of water can stop your kitchen in its tracks. We clear jams and repair disposals, and we install new units when the old one has reached the end of its life.
Signs you need garbage disposal repair & installation
- The disposal hums but won't turn
- It won't turn on at all
- Water leaking under the sink
- The sink drains slowly or backs up
- Grinding or rattling noises
- Persistent odors from the disposal
Common disposal problems
- Humming but not spinning: usually a jam from a hard object or fibrous food.
- No power at all: often the reset button has tripped, or there's an electrical issue.
- Leaking: can come from the sink flange, the drain connection, or a cracked housing.
- Slow draining: food waste building up in the disposal or the drain line beyond it.
Never put your hand inside a disposal. If it jams, turn off the power and call us.
Disposal installation
We mount new garbage disposals under kitchen sinks, connect the drain and dishwasher lines, and test for leaks and proper operation. If your disposal is leaking from the housing or failing often, replacing it is usually the better choice.
Kitchen drain still slow?
If the drain backs up even with the disposal working, the clog is likely further down. See drain cleaning.
What to expect
Safety first
We disconnect power before working on the unit.
Diagnose
We find out whether it's a jam, a leak, an electrical issue, or a drain clog.
Repair or replace
We clear the jam, fix the leak, or install a new disposal.
Test
We run water and the disposal and check every connection.
Tips to prevent problems
- Run cold water while the disposal is on and for a few seconds after
- Keep grease, bones, fruit pits, and fibrous peels out of it
- Don't pour coffee grounds or eggshells into it
- Use it regularly to keep parts moving
Frequently asked questions
Why does my garbage disposal hum but not work?
It's usually jammed. Turn off the power and don't reach inside. We can clear it safely.
Should I repair or replace my disposal?
If the housing is cracked and leaking or the motor has failed, replacement usually makes the most sense.
Can you connect my dishwasher to a new disposal?
Yes. We connect the dishwasher drain as part of the installation.
