Garbage Disposal Services
Repair, Install and Replace
Disposal humming, jammed, leaking or simply dead? Our plumbers repair, install, replace and remove garbage disposals, matching the right unit to your kitchen, sink and household needs.
Garbage Disposal Services for Every Brand and Kitchen Setup
A garbage disposal is a small appliance with a demanding job. Mounted under the kitchen sink, it uses a spinning plate with swivel impellers to fling food scraps against a stationary grind ring, breaking them into particles small enough to wash down the drain. It connects to the sink’s drain flange, the kitchen drain line and often the dishwasher discharge hose, and it’s powered by electricity through a switch, air button or plug.
When a disposal fails, the cause might be mechanical, electrical or plumbing related. Jams from bones, fruit pits or utensils stop the plate from turning. A tripped internal overload or worn motor can leave the unit silent. Leaks develop at the sink flange, the dishwasher inlet or the cracked housing itself. Our plumbers diagnose the problem accurately, repair what makes sense and recommend replacement when a worn unit isn’t worth fixing.

Continuous Feed or Batch Feed Garbage Disposal?
Most homes use continuous feed disposals. You turn them on with a wall switch or air button, run cold water and feed scraps in gradually while the unit operates. They’re convenient for busy kitchens and handle food waste as it’s generated during cooking and cleanup. The trade-off is that the opening stays live the entire time the disposal runs, so hands and utensils must be kept out of the chamber.
Batch feed disposals only run when a special stopper is placed in the drain opening and turned, which activates the motor. You fill the chamber, cover it and grind one batch at a time. This design adds safety, especially in homes with young children, and doesn’t require a wall switch. They usually cost more and process scraps more slowly. We’ll help you choose based on safety, convenience and how your household cooks.
Why Customers Choose Our Disposal Services
We approach disposals as both plumbing fixtures and appliances. Our licensed and insured plumbers diagnose jams, electrical faults and leaks correctly, so you don’t replace a unit that only needed a reset or a new gasket. When replacement makes sense, we size the motor to your household, check the sink flange and drain alignment and connect the dishwasher properly. Every unit is tested under running water for smooth operation and leaks.

Benefits of Professional Disposal Service
Professional service gets your disposal working again quickly without risking injury from a jammed unit. Accurate diagnosis avoids paying for unnecessary replacements. Correct installation prevents leaks at the sink flange, drain and dishwasher connections that can damage the cabinet beneath. Properly sized units grind more effectively and clog less. And expert advice on what to avoid putting down the disposal helps protect your kitchen drain and plumbing from messy, expensive blockages.

What Not to Put Down Your Garbage Disposal
A disposal handles most soft food scraps, but some items damage the unit or clog the drain beyond it. Avoiding them extends its life.
Fats, oils and grease solidify in pipes, coating the drain and trapping other debris. Fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, onion skins and artichoke leaves wrap around the impellers. Starchy foods such as potato peels, rice and pasta can form a thick paste that blocks the drain line.
Bones, fruit pits, shells and coffee grounds can jam the unit or settle in the trap. Never put glass, metal, plastic or non-food items into the disposal. Run cold water before, during and after grinding, and feed scraps gradually rather than all at once to keep things moving smoothly.
How Our Garbage Disposal Service Works
Tell us what the disposal is doing, such as humming, not turning on, leaking or draining slowly, and its brand if known.
Your plumber disconnects power for safety, then checks for jams, the overload reset, the switch, the sink flange, the drain connection and the dishwasher inlet. You’ll learn the cause and whether repair or replacement makes more sense, along with the cost, before any work begins.
Jams are cleared, gaskets and connections are resealed or the unit is replaced and connected to the drain and dishwasher. Power is restored, and the disposal is tested under running water. We check for leaks, confirm smooth operation and share tips to help prevent future jams.

Kitchen Disposal Questions Answered
Why does my disposal hum but not turn?
Something is likely jamming the grinding plate. Turn off power and avoid reaching inside. A plumber can free the jam safely.
What size disposal do I need?
Many households do well with a one-half or three-quarter horsepower unit. Larger families or frequent cooks may prefer more powerful models.
Can septic homes have a disposal?
Often, yes, with a septic-designed disposal and moderate use. Heavy use adds solids to the tank and may require more frequent pumping.
Why is my disposal leaking?
Leaks commonly come from the sink flange, the dishwasher inlet, the drain connection or a cracked housing. Each requires a different repair.
How long do disposals usually last?
Many last around eight to fifteen years, depending on quality, usage and care. Rusting housings and frequent jams signal replacement time.
