Garbage Disposal Repair

A disposal problem can involve the unit itself, the switch, the drain connection, the dishwasher tie-in, or the trap assembly. We review the symptoms and explain whether the disposal can be repaired or should be replaced.

What we can help with

  • Troubleshoot jammed or failed disposal units
  • Repair leaks at sink, trap, and dishwasher connections
  • Replace disposals that are no longer reliable
  • Check related kitchen drain concerns
Know your options

The disposal and the drain are different checks

A humming unit, a leaking mounting connection and a sink that will not drain should not all get the same repair. We inspect the accessible disposal and drain connections, then explain whether the fault is in the unit or farther along the kitchen drain.

A question worth asking

Does a backed-up sink mean the disposal is broken?

No. A working disposal can discharge into a blocked drain. The drainage problem needs to be separated from a mechanical or connection problem at the unit before recommending replacement.
