Our Process

1

Diagnosis

We test the unit to see if it's jammed, has a failed motor, or an electrical issue. We also check for leaks.

2

Repair Attempt

If it's a jam or a simple reset, we fix it. If the motor is burned out or the housing is cracked, we recommend replacement.

3

Replacement (If Needed)

We remove the old unit and install a new InSinkErator or similar high-quality brand. We install a new mounting bracket and ensure a vibration-free fit.

4

Testing

We run water and test the unit with a load to ensure it grinds effectively and doesn't leak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my disposal humming but not grinding?

A humming sound usually means the flywheel is jammed but the motor is trying to turn. Turn it off immediately to avoid burning out the motor! We can usually unjam this manually.

Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy peels (potato skins), coffee grounds, eggshells, and grease/oil. These can cause clogs or wrap around the blades.
Most disposals last about 10-12 years. If yours is older and starting to leak or jam frequently, it’s time for a replacement.
Absolutely. If you cook often, upgrading from a standard 1/3 HP builder-grade model to a 3/4 HP or 1 HP model makes a huge difference in performance and durability.
