A jammed, leaking, or humming disposal is usually diagnosable quickly, but our technicians check the connected drain line and seals too, not just the unit itself.
Situations That Lead Here
A disposal that hums but does not spin usually means the blades are jammed, often by something that should not have gone down the drain in the first place. Leaking beneath the unit typically points to a failing seal or a loose connection rather than the disposal itself being at fault. Some homeowners are here because their unit has simply reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacement rather than another repair attempt.
The General Approach
Rather than assuming the disposal itself is always the problem, our technicians check the connected drain line, seals, and electrical connection as part of a complete diagnosis. This approach avoids replacing a unit unnecessarily when the actual issue is a loose connection or a failing seal elsewhere in the system.
Blades stuck due to foreign objects, resolved by clearing the jam safely.
Failing seals or loose fittings addressed at the specific connection point.
Proper removal and installation when a unit has reached the end of its service life.
Step-By-Step Process
We check the unit, connections, and seals to identify the actual cause of the problem.
We explain whether a targeted fix makes sense or if the unit should be replaced.
Repairs are made to the specific issue, or the old unit is removed and a new one properly installed and sealed.
We run the disposal and check all connections before considering the job complete.
What Makes Our Approach Different
