Garbage Disposals

A garbage disposal that jams, hums, or leaks is usually a quick fix rather than a full replacement — but when it's time to install a new one, we make sure it's sized and wired correctly for your kitchen.

Garbage Disposals FAQs

My disposal just hums — do I need a new one?

Not necessarily. A humming disposal usually just has a jam or a tripped internal reset, both of which are quick fixes before replacement is needed.

What shouldn't go down a garbage disposal?

Fibrous foods, grease, bones, and starchy items like pasta or rice expand and can jam or dull the blades — avoiding these extends the unit's life significantly.
