A garbage disposal that hums without spinning is almost always jammed. A leaking disposal usually means the seals or the body of the unit have corroded through. A dead disposal is usually a tripped reset or a failed motor. We diagnose all three on the spot and either clear the jam, replace the unit, or repair the connection — usually within an hour.
We install every major brand and recommend a 3/4 to 1 HP unit for most households. Replacing a leaking disposal also gives us a chance to check the under-sink drain assembly, P-trap, and dishwasher discharge for the leaks people often blame on the disposal.
All work is upfront-priced and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
