New Disposal Installation

We install all major brands and sizes of garbage disposals — from basic continuous-feed models to heavy-duty units with sound insulation and auto-reverse.

Disposal Repair

Humming, leaking, or completely dead? Most disposal issues — jammed blades, worn seals, tripped reset buttons — can be repaired without a full replacement.

Disposal Replacement

When a disposal is beyond repair or more than 10 years old, replacement is often the smarter choice. We recommend the right unit for your household's needs and budget.

Proper Drain Connection

A disposal installed with the wrong drain slope or connections will cause leaks and backups. We ensure every installation is plumbed correctly from the start.

Dishwasher Drain Integration

Many disposals connect to the dishwasher drain line. We handle that connection properly so both appliances work without issue.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

It hums but won't spin: usually a jam. Something hard is stuck between the plate and the grind ring, or the motor is seizing.

It won't turn on at all: often a tripped reset button or breaker, sometimes a failed switch or motor.

It's leaking: a leak at the sink flange can be resealed, and a leak at the dishwasher or drain connection can be fixed. A leak from the body of the unit usually means the internal seals have failed and it's time to replace it.

The sink drains slowly: the disposal or the drain line below it is clogged, often with grease, rice, pasta or coffee grounds.

Repair or Replace?

Jams, tripped resets and loose connections are quick repairs. If the unit is leaking from the housing, rusted through, or more than about 10 years old and failing, a new disposal is usually the better value. We'll tell you which one makes sense, not just sell you a new unit.

Garbage Disposal Installation

We install new and replacement disposals, from basic models to quieter, more powerful units. We connect the dishwasher drain, check the drain line slope, and test for leaks before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

My disposal hums but won't turn — what's wrong?

That usually means it's jammed. Sometimes it can be cleared, but a humming, dead, or leaking unit often needs replacement. We'll diagnose it and tell you which.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

Minor jams and resets are repairable; leaking, rusted, or burned-out units are better replaced. We install all major brands and sizes.

What shouldn't go down a garbage disposal?

Avoid grease, fibrous foods like celery and corn husks, bones, coffee grounds, and starchy items like pasta and rice — they're the main causes of clogs.

Can you install a new garbage disposal?

Yes — we supply and install disposals and connect them to your existing or new sink setup.
