Frequently Asked Questions — Garbage Disposal Repair
My garbage disposal just hums but won't spin — what's wrong?
This almost always means the disposal is jammed. There’s usually a simple fix — our technician can unjam it and check the motor on the first visit. Don’t keep running it when it’s humming, as this can burn out the motor
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
It depends on the age and condition of the unit. If it’s under 8 years old and the issue is mechanical, repair is usually the better value. If it’s older or the motor has failed, replacement is often more cost-effective. We’ll always give you an honest recommendation — not just the option that costs more.
How long does a garbage disposal repair take?
Most garbage disposal repairs are completed in a single visit, typically within 30–60 minutes. If a replacement unit needs to be sourced, we’ll schedule a follow-up as quickly as possible.
