Garbage Disposal Repair

What We Actually Do

Disposals fail in three ways: they jam, they leak, or they stop getting power. A unit that hums without turning has a jammed flywheel, and clearing it with the proper wrench usually restores it fully — no parts needed. A unit that is completely silent has either tripped its internal reset button or lost power at the switch or outlet, and checking that sequence before condemning the motor saves you money. Leaks are the one category where replacement is often the right answer: a leak from the body of the unit means the internal shell has corroded through, and no repair fixes that. Leaks at the sink flange or the dishwasher inlet, on the other hand, are simple gasket and connection repairs. We also check the drain elbow and P-trap, because a slow drain after grinding is frequently a plumbing restriction downstream, not a disposal fault.

Symptoms We Fix

• Hums but does not grind
• Completely silent when switched on
• Water dripping under the sink
• Grinding or rattling metal noise
• Sink drains slowly after running
• Frequent resets required

Honest Pricing, No Surprises

Every garbage disposal repair call starts with a flat diagnostic fee, and that fee is applied to the repair as soon as you approve the work. You hear the full price — parts and labor together — before a single panel comes off, and if we believe the appliance is not worth repairing, we say so instead of selling you a part that only buys a few months. Completed repairs are covered by a written parts-and-labor warranty, and we test the appliance through a real cycle before packing up so you know the fix held.
