Common Garbage Disposal Problems & How We Fix Them
These are the most common garbage disposal calls our team handles every week, with the real fix for each:
Disposal hums but the blades won't turn
A jam. We free the rotor with the hex key, fish out the obstruction, hit the reset, and verify free spin and proper draining.
Disposal leaks from the bottom
A bottom leak means the internal seal is gone. The unit is not repairable. Same-day replacement keeps your kitchen working.
Disposal is loud or grinding
Loose mounts or a worn bearing make it loud. We tighten the mounting ring, check the impeller, and quote a replacement if needed.
Smell coming from the disposal
Buildup under the splash guard is the usual cause. We pull the splash guard, deep clean, and run a treatment cycle.
Disposal won't start at all
Either a tripped reset, a bad switch, or a burned motor. We test in order and replace the failed part.
Need a higher-horsepower model for heavy use
Large families or home cooks should run at least 3/4 HP with stainless impellers. We size, deliver, and install.

What Our Customers Say
"Our kitchen drain backed up at 9pm on a Sunday. They answered, sent a tech in 35 minutes, and cleared the line for a fair price. He even cleaned the floor when he was done. Will call again."
"We had a slab leak under the kitchen. They found it in under an hour with leak detection gear and rerouted the line by the next morning. Honest pricing, no upsell. Five stars."
"Replaced our old water heater with a tankless. The plumber explained every option, showed me the price upfront, and finished in one day. Hot water has been perfect since."
Garbage Disposal FAQs
My disposal hums but won't spin. Can I fix it myself?
Sometimes. Unplug it, use the hex key on the bottom, and turn back and forth. If that fails, hit the red reset button. If still nothing. Call us.
How long do disposals last?
10-15 years for a 1/2 HP, 15+ years for a 3/4 or 1 HP. Bigger motors last longer.
Can you install a disposal where there isn't one?
Yes. We add the cord/switch, mount the unit, and reconnect the drain to code.
