Common problems professional garbage disposal services can resolve:
Jammed or Stuck Disposals
Food particles, small bones, or utensils can get lodged in the grinding chamber, preventing the flywheel from spinning and leaving you with a unit that hums but won't work.
Leaking Units
Water pooling under your sink often points to worn gaskets, loose connections, or cracks in the disposal housing. Left unchecked, leaks can damage cabinetry and promote mold growth.
Strange Noises or Humming
Grinding, rattling, or persistent humming usually signals an obstruction, loose components, or a motor struggling to operate. These sounds shouldn't be ignored, as they often indicate a problem that will worsen over time.

Garbage Disposal Repair
If your disposal is humming but not grinding, making unusual noises, or draining slowly, it often doesn't need to be replaced. Our technicians can repair jammed flywheels, reset overloaded motors, clear obstructions, and fix electrical connections to restore normal operation.

When repairs aren't cost-effective or your unit has reached the end of its lifespan, we'll help you select a new garbage disposal that matches your household's needs. We handle the full installation, including proper electrical and plumbing connections, so everything works safely from day one.

Regular maintenance helps prevent jams, odors, and premature wear. We can clean internal components, check for leaks, and make sure your disposal is operating efficiently, extending its lifespan and keeping your kitchen smelling fresh.

Garbage disposal problems don't always happen at convenient times. Whether you're in the middle of preparing dinner or cleaning up after a holiday gathering, a sudden failure can bring your kitchen to a standstill. We offer emergency services to get you back on track fast.
Disposal Leaking Under Sink
A sudden leak can cause water damage to your cabinets and flooring. We'll identify the source and stop the leak before it creates bigger problems.
Burning Smell or Smoke from Unit

Most garbage disposals last between 8 and 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If your unit is frequently jamming, leaking, or requires repeated resets, it may be time for a replacement.
Small amounts of citrus peels are generally fine and can help freshen your disposal. However, large quantities of any fibrous material, including citrus pith, can cause jams. It's best to cut peels into smaller pieces and run plenty of cold water while grinding.
A humming sound usually means the motor is receiving power, but the flywheel is jammed or stuck. This often happens when a hard object like a bone or utensil gets lodged inside. Turn off the unit and call us to safely clear the obstruction.
Yes. We can add a garbage disposal to most kitchen sinks, provided there's adequate space and electrical access. We'll evaluate your setup and recommend the best options for your situation.
