A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life. Our Central technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
We give you real numbers on both options so you can decide, not just push the more profitable one.
Every technician on a disposal call carries valid licensing and liability coverage.
A non-functioning disposal gets prompt scheduling since it affects daily kitchen use.
You'll know the repair or replacement price before any work begins.

A disposal that hums but won't spin usually has something lodged in the flywheel, cleared safely with the power disconnected first.
{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
New disposal installation includes checking the electrical connection and drain alignment, not just swapping the unit.

We check whether the odor is actually the disposal or a trap issue further down the line.

A humming motor with no spin is the classic sign of a mechanical jam, not usually a motor failure.
Units past 8-10 years with a significant failure often make more sense to replace — we'll give you honest numbers on both.
It depends on the issue — a jam clearing costs far less than a full replacement. We quote upfront before starting.
Often an electrical issue or an overloaded motor from grinding something too tough — we diagnose which it is.
Not always — sometimes it's just a worn seal or gasket that can be repaired without replacing the whole unit.
