What Our Garbage Disposal Services Include

Disposal Repair and Unjamming

Humming without grinding usually means a jam. We safely clear blockages, reset the unit, and check for worn components.

Garbage Disposal Installation

We remove your old disposal and install a new one with secure mounting, proper drain connections, and a leak test. We can recommend a model that suits your household.

Leaks and Odor Problems

Leaks under the sink often come from loose seals or cracked housings. We repair connections or replace the unit, and help you address bad smells.

Warning Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Help

Replace or repair a disposal that will not turn on, hums, leaks, smells bad even after cleaning, clogs frequently, or makes loud grinding noises.
Most disposals last about a decade, so an older unit that keeps acting up is often better replaced.

How We Handle Your Garbage Disposal Project

We inspect the unit, the sink drain, and electrical connections.

If repair will solve it, we do that.

If it makes sense to replace the disposal, we explain why, install the new one, and test it to ensure smooth, quiet operation.

We also offer tips to extend disposal life.
