Garbage Disposals

Jams, hums, and rusted-through housings. Repaired when that makes sense, replaced when it doesn't.

Plumber installing a stainless steel garbage disposal under a kitchen sink

Disposals fail in a few predictable ways. The motor hums but the plate will not turn. The reset button stops holding. Or the housing rusts through and drips into the cabinet, which most people notice by smell before they notice the water.

A jam or a seized plate we can usually clear on the same visit. A leaking shell means replacement, and we'll say so rather than charging for a repair that buys you two months.

Describe the job over the phone and we can usually give you a rough idea of what it runs before anyone comes out.
