Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?

If your disposal is less than 10 years old and the problem is a simple jam or minor leak, repair is usually cost-effective. However, if the unit is old, has a cracked housing, shows heavy corrosion, or requires expensive motor repair, replacement is typically the better investment. We assess your specific situation and recommend the most economical solution.

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not working?

A humming disposal usually means the motor is receiving power but the grinding mechanism is jammed. This commonly happens when hard objects like utensils, bones, or fruit pits get stuck in the blades. Never stick your hand in the disposal. We safely clear jams using proper tools and get your disposal working again.

Can you fix a leaking garbage disposal?

Yes, we repair all types of disposal leaks. Leaks can occur at the sink flange, dishwasher connection, discharge pipe, or from cracks in the disposal body. Most leaks are fixable by tightening connections or replacing seals. If the disposal housing is cracked, replacement is necessary. We identify the leak source and provide the most cost-effective solution.

What size garbage disposal do I need?

Disposals are rated by horsepower. For most homes, a 3/4 HP disposal is ideal, providing good grinding power for typical food waste. Smaller 1/3 to 1/2 HP models work for light use, while 1 HP units are best for large families or heavy use. We help you select the right size based on your household needs and budget.

How long does garbage disposal installation take?

Most garbage disposal installations take 1-2 hours including removal of the old unit, installation of the new disposal, electrical connections, drain connections, and thorough testing. If modifications to electrical wiring or plumbing are needed, it may take slightly longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your kitchen.

What should I never put down my garbage disposal?

Never put these items in your disposal: bones, fruit pits, coffee grounds, eggshells, grease or oil, fibrous vegetables like celery, potato peels, pasta or rice, non-food items, or harsh chemicals. These items cause jams, dull blades, clog drains, or damage the unit. We provide a complete list of do's and don'ts after installation.

Why does my garbage disposal smell bad?

Odors develop when food particles stick to disposal walls and decompose. Regular cleaning prevents smells. Run cold water for 30 seconds after grinding, occasionally grind ice cubes and citrus peels, use disposal cleaner products, and never let food sit in the disposal. For persistent odors, we can thoroughly clean or replace the disposal.

Can you install a garbage disposal if I don't have one?

Yes, we install disposals in sinks that do not currently have them. This requires plumbing modifications to accommodate the disposal drain, proper electrical connection, and ensuring your sink configuration is compatible. We assess your setup and handle all necessary work to add disposal convenience to your kitchen.

Is it normal for my garbage disposal to be loud?

Some noise is normal, but excessively loud grinding, rattling, or squealing indicates a problem. Loud noises often mean something hard is stuck in the blades, the mounting is loose, bearings are worn, or internal components are damaged. We diagnose the cause and recommend repair or replacement based on the severity.

Do you warranty your garbage disposal installation?

Yes, all our installation work is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty. Additionally, new disposal units come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 1 to 10 years depending on the brand and model. We install quality brands known for reliability and stand behind every job we complete.
