Garbage Disposal ReplacementWarning Signs to Watch For

If a garbage disposal is heavily worn or damaged, replacing the unit may be the most reliable long-term solution. Modern disposals are designed to operate more quietly and efficiently than older models.

We install new garbage disposals for kitchen sinks, ensuring proper connections to your plumbing system and safe operation of the unit.

Frequently Asked QuestionsGarbage Disposals

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not working?

If your garbage disposal is humming but not grinding, it’s often a sign that the unit is jammed. This can happen when food debris or a hard object gets stuck inside the grinding chamber. In some cases the jam can be cleared, but if the motor has been damaged the unit may need to be replaced.

Certain items can damage your disposal or cause clogs. Avoid putting grease, oils, fibrous foods like celery or corn husks, coffee grounds, bones, fruit pits, and large food scraps into the disposal.

Food particles can become trapped inside the disposal or drain, which can lead to unpleasant odors. Regular cleaning and proper use can help prevent this. If odors persist, the disposal or drain may need professional cleaning.

Most garbage disposals last 8–12 years, depending on how often they are used and how well they are maintained. Frequent jams, leaks, or loud noises can be signs that the unit is reaching the end of its lifespan.

If the disposal is leaking from the housing, frequently jamming, making loud grinding noises, or is older and beginning to fail, replacement is often the most practical long-term solution.
