Garbage Disposal Repair
Humming but not turning, leaking under the sink, or won't reset — disposals, cleared and fixed.
Most garbage disposal calls turn out to be a jam we can clear on the spot, not a full unit replacement. We check that first, then move to motor and seal issues if needed.
Typical repair range: $90–$260 · Covers most jam-clearing, seal, and switch repairs. New unit installation quoted separately.

FAQ
Garbage Disposal Repair questions, answered
My garbage disposal just hums — is it broken?
Usually not permanently — that hum almost always means the flywheel is jammed. We can often clear it and get you running again in the same visit rather than replacing the whole unit.
Why does my disposal keep tripping its reset button?
Typically an overload jam or a motor drawing too much current. We'll clear the jam and test the motor before recommending a replacement.
Do you install new disposals, not just repair them?
Yes — if a unit is truly at the end of its life we can install a comparable or upgraded replacement during the same visit.
Why does my disposal leak from underneath?
Usually a worn seal at the sink flange or the discharge pipe connection — both repairable without replacing the whole unit.
