If your garbage disposal is humming, grinding, leaking, or flat-out refusing to turn on, you’re not alone. Disposals are tough little machines… until they’re not. The good news? Most disposal problems can be repaired quickly, and we’ll always tell you honestly if it makes more sense to repair it or replace it.
If your garbage disposal is humming, grinding, leaking, or flat-out refusing to turn on, you’re not alone. Disposals are tough little machines… until they’re not. The good news? Most disposal problems can be repaired quickly, and we’ll always tell you honestly if it makes more sense to repair it or replace it.
Here’s what we see all the time:
Disposal won’t turn on (power issue, tripped reset, bad switch, worn motor)
Humming but not grinding (jammed flywheel, stuck impeller)
Leaks under the sink (worn seals, cracked housing, loose connections)
Loud grinding or rattling (foreign object inside—yes, even a tiny spoon)
Slow draining sink (partial clog in disposal or drain line)
Bad smells that won’t quit (build-up, biofilm, trapped food debris)
If it’s acting up, don’t keep flipping the switch and hoping it “finds itself.” That’s how motors burn out.
Quick inspection
of the unit, wiring, reset, and mounting
Safe jam removal
and internal check for damage
Leak diagnosis
(disposal body vs. plumbing connections)
Drain line check
if water isn’t flowing right
Repair or straight-shooting replacement
recommendation if it’s beyond saving

Advice on what not to put down the disposal (we’ll save your pipes, too)
If your disposal is leaking, jammed, or making sounds like a tiny dinosaur under the sink, give us a call. We’ll get it handled.
Call us today or schedule your service online to get started.
Usually it’s jammed. The motor is trying to turn but the impeller can’t move. Turn it off and don’t keep trying—jam clearing is typically a quick fix.
Sometimes. If it’s leaking from a connection (like the drain pipe or dishwasher line), that’s often repairable. If it’s leaking from the disposal body itself, replacement is usually the right call.
It could be a partial clog in the disposal, the P-trap, or the drain line. We’ll check the full path and clear what’s actually causing the slowdown.
No grease, bones, fibrous foods (celery), coffee grounds (they build up like sludge), eggshells (membrane issues), or starchy foods like pasta/rice that expand.
It can be. The biggest risks are electrical issues, accidental activation, and putting your hand where it doesn’t belong. If you’re unsure, call a pro—it’s not worth a trip to urgent care.
