Frequently asked questions
My disposal hums but won't grind — fixable?+
Almost always. Hum + no spin means a jammed flywheel. We use the hex-key reset, then run an Allen wrench through the bottom port to free the impellers. 30-minute fix in 90% of cases.
How much does disposal repair cost?+
Typical repairs run $110–$220 (jam-clear, switch, capacitor, seal). Full unit replacement (most brands) runs $260–$480 including labor.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace?+
If the unit is under 6 years old and not leaking from the chamber bottom, repair. If it's 8+ years and motor-bearing-noisy, replace. We give you the math on-site.
Why is water leaking from the bottom of my disposal?+
Bottom-leaking is a worn motor seal — almost always a sign the unit is end-of-life. We replace, recycle the old unit, and warranty the new one for 90 days labor + manufacturer parts.
Do you replace disposals same-day?+
Yes — we stock InSinkErator Badger 5XP, Evolution Compact, and Waste King 3200 on the truck for same-day install. Other models typically next-day.
