Sound familiar? It is worth a call.
- Humming with no grinding
- Water under the sink after running it
- Nothing at all when you flip the switch
- Constant jams or slow draining through the disposal
- Rust on the housing or a grinding noise that got louder
We clear jams, reset tripped units, and replace the mounting flange or the discharge gasket when the leak is there. When the motor is done or the housing is rusted through, we replace the unit with a 1/2 to 1 HP model matched to your use, reconnect the dishwasher drain, replace the P-trap if it is corroded, and test under a full sink of water. We also add disposals where there was none, including the electrical outlet and switch if your electrician has not already.

What this county does to plumbing.
Disposals in older homes here often share a corroded galvanized or cast iron drain that catches everything the disposal sends down. If a disposal drains slowly no matter what, the pipe below it is usually the reason, and we camera it before you buy a bigger unit that will push more into the same clog. Hard water also scales the grind chamber and the drain line, so a disposal that has slowed over years may just need a clean-out and a new trap.
Flat, in writing, before we start.
Repairs and replacements quoted flat on site. Replacement includes the unit if you want us to supply it, or the install alone if you have one. One-year labor warranty on the install, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the disposal.
A repair visit is $199 flat: we diagnose, clear the jam, and reset the unit. The one-year labor warranty covers our work; if the motor itself is near the end, we say so and quote the replacement with both numbers.

What Our Customers Are Saying
5.0 · Based on 70 reviews
Answered straight.
It hums but does not grind.
It is jammed. Turn it off, use the hex wrench in the socket on the bottom to free the plate, press the reset button. If that fails, book us.
It is completely dead.
Press the reset button on the bottom. If it trips again, the motor is likely done.
How long do disposals last?
Eight to twelve years. Rust on the housing means it is at the end.
Can you add one where there is none?
Yes, including the electrical if needed.
What size should I get?
1/2 HP for one or two people, 3/4 HP for a family. 1 HP if you cook a lot.
Can I put a disposal on a septic system?
Yes, with a septic-rated model and awareness that it adds load to the tank.
