Common Failures We Repair
Disposal hums but doesn't spin
Jammed flywheel — usually a piece of bone, cherry pit, or coffee grounds. We free the flywheel with the hex tool, test the motor, and reset the breaker.
Disposal does nothing when switched on
Tripped reset button (red button on the bottom), failed switch, or burned-out motor. We reset, test the switch, and replace the unit if the motor windings are open.
Disposal leaks under the sink
Failed sink flange seal (top), dishwasher hose connection, or cracked grinding chamber. We re-seal the flange or replace the unit if the chamber is cracked.
Loud rattling or grinding
Loose internal lugs, worn impellers, or trapped foreign object. We open and inspect; usually a quick clear-out and re-tightening.
Drain backing up after install
Knock-out plug not removed (dishwasher inlet), or partially clogged drain line. Quick fix — we pull and clear.
Disposal trips the breaker
Internal short or stalled motor. We isolate and replace the unit if the motor is cooked.
Pricing & Quotes
All quotes are given in person, at your home.
We don’t guess pricing over the phone. A factory-trained technician arrives, opens the unit, and writes a written quote in your home before any repair begins. You decide whether to move forward — no pressure, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
My disposal hums when I turn it on. What now?
It's jammed. Power off at the switch, use the hex wrench (usually under the sink) to rotate the flywheel a few turns, press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit, and try again. Still humming? Call us — we'll free it in 15 minutes. Every quote is given in person at your home after our technician has diagnosed the actual failure — never over the phone. The price you see in writing is the price you pay.
Can I run any disposal with my dishwasher?
Most models. We always remove the knock-out plug for the dishwasher hose during install — homeowners doing it themselves often forget that step and get a dishwasher backup. Every quote is given in person at your home after our technician has diagnosed the actual failure — never over the phone. The price you see in writing is the price you pay.
Are 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP disposals worth it?
Almost always — 3/4 HP units handle bones, cherry pits and corn cobs without jamming. 1/3 HP units jam constantly. We recommend 3/4 HP minimum for daily-use kitchens. Every quote is given in person at your home after our technician has diagnosed the actual failure — never over the phone. The price you see in writing is the price you pay.
How long does a disposal last?
8 to 12 years typically. Once the motor windings start corroding from leaks past the seal, replacement is the right call. Every quote is given in person at your home after our technician has diagnosed the actual failure — never over the phone. The price you see in writing is the price you pay.
Do you also handle the plumbing under the sink?
Yes — drain trap, dishwasher hose, supply lines if affected by a disposal repair. We're not a full plumbing company but we handle everything the disposal touches. Every quote is given in person at your home after our technician has diagnosed the actual failure — never over the phone. The price you see in writing is the price you pay.
