When Your Disposal Quits, Your Kitchen Suffers

Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs to Be Replaced

A bad garbage disposal doesn’t just make noise — it slows everything down. If you’re constantly smelling rotten food, pressing the reset button, or hearing only a hum, it’s probably time for a new unit.

  • Humming but not grinding: Motor powers on but the blades won’t spin.
  • Water under the sink: Leaks from the bottom or sides of the disposal housing.
  • Persistent clogs & slow draining: Even after plunging and cleaning, the sink backs up.
  • Burning smell or frequent resets: The motor is on its last legs and overheating.
  • Older than 8–10 years: Many disposals are simply worn out and overdue for an upgrade.

  • Licensed, background-checked technicians — not random subcontractors.
  • Friendly, clear communication from the first call to final clean-up.
  • We treat your kitchen like our own: no muddy footprints or dirty towels left behind.

Questions, Answered

Garbage Disposal Installation FAQs

How do I know if I need a new garbage disposal vs. a repair?

If your disposal has minor issues — like a simple jam or a loose connection — a repair might be enough. But if the motor is burned out, the unit is leaking from the bottom, or it’s more than 8–10 years old, replacement is usually the smarter, more reliable choice. We’ll inspect it and give you both options when possible.

Can you install a garbage disposal where I’ve never had one before?

In many cases, yes. We’ll look at your sink, plumbing, and electrical setup to see what’s needed. Sometimes we can add a disposal with minimal changes; other times, we may recommend additional work to ensure everything is up to code and safely wired.

What should I avoid putting down my new disposal?

We’ll review this with you on-site, but in general you’ll want to avoid fibrous foods (like celery and onion skins), large bones, grease, cooking oil, and big batches of starchy foods like rice and pasta. Running plenty of cold water while it’s grinding helps keep things moving.

Do you warranty your garbage disposal installs?

Yes. Your new disposal comes with a manufacturer warranty, and we warranty our labor as well. If something related to our install isn’t right, we’ll come back and make it right.
