Garbage disposals take a lot of abuse, and most problems show up as a hum with no grinding, a unit that will not turn on, a leak underneath or a sink that drains slowly. Some of these are simple jams or tripped resets, while others mean the seals or motor have worn out. We diagnose the disposal, clear jams safely, repair leaks at the sink flange, dishwasher inlet and drain line, and tell you when replacement is the better choice. New disposals are matched to your household and mounting system, connected to the drain and dishwasher, and tested with water running.

Garbage disposal repair and installation: common questions
What should never go down a disposal?
Grease, fibrous scraps like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones and pasta or rice are common causes of jams and clogs.
Can a leaking disposal be repaired?
Leaks at the sink flange or drain connection usually can. A leak from the body of the unit usually means it needs to be replaced.
