Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A humming disposal usually means the motor is getting power but the flywheel is jammed. Common causes include stuck food debris, a jammed impeller plate, or a tripped overload protector. Our technicians safely remove the jam and restore proper operation.
Most clogs can be repaired quickly by clearing the blockage and checking for damage. Replacement is only needed if the motor is burned out, the flywheel is damaged, or the unit is over 10–12 years old.
Leaks often come from worn seals, loose plumbing connections, or cracks in the unit. We inspect each component, replace faulty parts, and ensure a watertight repair.
Repair costs vary depending on the issue, unit brand, and parts required. Simple jams or electrical resets are affordable, while motor replacement or major plumbing fixes are higher. We provide upfront estimates before any work.
Avoid fibrous foods (like celery), grease, coffee grounds, bones, and expandable items. These cause jams, clogs, and motor strain, leading to costly repairs. Regular maintenance can extend your disposal’s lifespan. For safe waste management practices, you can also review the EPA’s guidance on household waste.
Most repairs — such as clearing jams, fixing leaks, or resetting motors — are completed on-site in one visit. More complex issues with motor replacement may require additional parts but are usually resolved the same day.
