Repair or Replace?
Not every malfunction means a new disposal—many issues come from worn parts, minor blockages, or electrical resets. If replacement is the smarter investment, we'll explain why and help you choose a unit sized for your household.
Garbage Disposal FAQs
My disposal just hums—can it be fixed?
A hum usually means the motor has power but the impeller is jammed. Often it can be freed and reset; if the motor is damaged, replacement is the safer choice.
Why does my disposal leak?
Leaks commonly come from the sink flange, the drain connections, or a cracked body. We locate the exact source and repair or replace accordingly.
How long do garbage disposals last?
Many last roughly 8–12 years depending on use and maintenance. Frequent jams and leaks on an older unit usually signal it's time to replace.
