Fix jammed, leaking, or dead disposals.
What is garbage disposal repair?
Garbage disposal repair covers jammed, humming, leaking, and non-working disposals, plus replacement and new installation.
Signs you need garbage disposal repair
- Humming but not grinding
- No power
- Leaking from the bottom
- Sink draining slowly
Common causes
Jams from bones, pits, or fibrous food; a tripped internal overload; worn seals; and grease clogging the drain.
How diagnosis works
Check the reset button and breaker. With the power off, a hex key in the bottom can free a jam. Leaks from the unit body usually mean replacement.
Repair options
Unjamming, reset, drain clearing, seal repair, or replacement with a properly sized unit.
