Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement
A jammed or humming unit is frustrating. Our garbage disposal repair service fixes jams, leaks and electrical faults. If you searched garbage disposal repair near me or need a plumber for garbage disposal repair, we can often come the same day. Garbage disposal not turning on? We check the reset button, switch and outlet first — sometimes a simple outlet replacement is all it takes. We can also fix food waste disposer leaks at the flange.
When a unit is worn out, we offer garbage disposal replacement and garbage disposal installation. Some customers call it a garburator install, others just say sink disposal — either way, we size the right horsepower for your kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not working?
A humming disposal usually means the flywheel is jammed. This is a common fix — our technicians safely clear the jam and restore operation, typically in under 30 minutes.
How long does disposal replacement take?
Most garbage disposal replacements take about 1–2 hours including removal of the old unit, installation, all connections, and cleanup.
What size disposal do I need?
We recommend 1/2 HP for single people or couples with light use, 3/4 HP for families, and 1 HP for heavy use. We'll help you choose the right size for your household.
Can you install a disposal where there isn't one?
Yes, we can install new disposals in most kitchen sinks, including the necessary plumbing drain connections and electrical wiring or outlet installation.
Why does my disposal smell bad?
Odors usually come from trapped food debris. We can clean and deodorize your disposal. We also teach you maintenance tips to prevent future odors.
How much does a new garbage disposal cost?
The unit itself ranges from $80–$300 depending on horsepower and brand. Installation is additional. We provide a complete price upfront before starting.
Is my disposal worth repairing?
If your disposal is under 8 years old and the motor still works, repair is usually worthwhile. For older units with motor failure, replacement is more cost-effective.
Do you offer same-day disposal service?
Yes, we offer same-day service for disposal repairs and replacements in most of our service areas, subject to availability.
