When Your Home Isn’t Comfortable

We’ll Help You Figure Out What’s Wrong

A garbage disposal usually fails at the worst time, right after dinner with a sink full of dishes. It hums but won’t spin, leaks under the sink, or won’t turn on at all.

We’ll clear the jam, fix the leak or tell you honestly when it’s time for a new one, then install it properly with the right connections to your drain and dishwasher.

It just hums, and the sink won’t drain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my garbage disposal hum but not work?

It's usually jammed. Turn it off at the switch and don't put your hand inside. We can clear the jam and check the motor.

Can you install a disposal I already bought?

Yes. We can install a disposal you've purchased, including the connections to your drain and dishwasher.

Should I repair or replace my disposal?

Jams and small leaks can usually be fixed. If the unit itself is leaking or the motor is worn out, replacing it is often the better value.

How much does garbage disposal repair cost?

It depends on what we find. We start with a $99 service call that goes toward your repair, and you'll get an upfront price before any work begins.
