A humming disposal, a persistent leak under the sink, or a unit that will not reset are all fixable without a full replacement. Our ISA-certified technicians handle the diagnosis and repair directly.
The motor runs but the blades stay still, usually pointing to a jam that a reset alone will not clear.
A leak from the disposal body or its connections can develop gradually and worsen the longer it goes unaddressed.
Repeated tripping usually signals an internal motor issue rather than a one-off overload.
A lingering smell often means trapped debris that regular use is not clearing on its own.
Garbage disposal repair starts with ruling out a simple jam before assuming a motor or seal has failed. Our technicians use the manual reversal tool most units include to check for an obstruction first, since this resolves a meaningful share of service calls without any parts needed. From there, diagnosis moves to the motor, the seals, and the mounting assembly, in that order, to isolate the actual point of failure.
The unit is switched off and unplugged or isolated at the breaker before any hands-on inspection begins.
The technician checks for an obstruction using the manual reversal point built into most disposal units.
Seals, gaskets, and connection points are checked if any water has been noticed under the sink.
If the unit still will not run, the motor and internal reset mechanism are tested directly.
Where a repair makes sense, it is completed on the spot. If replacement is the better value, the technician explains why honestly.
We check for a simple obstruction before assuming a costlier internal fault, saving you unnecessary part replacement.
