A disposal that hums without spinning is usually jammed; one that does nothing at all is often a tripped reset or a failed motor. Leaks typically come from the sink flange, the dishwasher inlet, or the discharge connection — each has a different fix, and we check all of them.

When it's time for a new unit, we replace the mounting assembly, reseal the flange, and re-plumb the drain and dishwasher connection properly so you're not left with a slow, leaking sink.

What's included

  • Jam clearing and reset service

Frequently asked questions

How long does a disposal replacement take?
Most straightforward replacements are done in about an hour, including the drain connections and a leak test.
Why does my disposal keep clogging?
Usually fibrous scraps, grease, or coffee grounds, but a poorly sloped drain line can also be the culprit. We'll check the plumbing, not just the unit.
