Common Garbage Disposal Issues We Repair
Our technicians diagnose and fix all types of disposal problems, including:
- Unit not turning on
- Clogs or slow draining
- Loud grinding noises
- Leaks from the bottom or sides
- Burning smells
- Jammed blades
- Vibrating or shaking units

If you’re not sure what the issue is, we’ll identify it quickly and explain what needs to be done — clearly and honestly.
Our Garbage Disposal Diagnostic Expertise
Our technicians perform detailed troubleshooting to identify the exact cause of disposal issues — beyond what a simple visual check can reveal.
We inspect critical internal components such as the flywheel, impeller plate, grinding chamber, splash guard, sink flange, seals, and gaskets to determine whether the problem is caused by a jam, worn parts, or internal damage.
We also evaluate the motor assembly, overload protector (reset mechanism), air switch or wall switch, drain trap (P-trap), discharge tube, and electrical connections, since issues in these areas can cause leaks, humming, clogs, or a disposal that won’t turn on at all.
This process ensures accurate diagnostics, safe repairs, and reliable performance — without guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is my garbage disposal not turning on?
This can be caused by a tripped reset button, electrical issue, jammed blades, or a faulty motor. We identify the source and fix it safely.
Can a leaking disposal be repaired?
Yes — but leaks from the bottom usually require replacement. Side leaks or connection leaks can often be repaired.
Do you repair all disposal brands?
Yes. We service all major garbage disposal brands including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and more.
Is same-day service available?
Most days, yes — especially when you call early.
Why does my garbage disposal hum but not spin?
Humming usually means the motor is getting power, but the flywheel or impeller plate is jammed. This needs professional handling because forcing it can damage the motor.
What causes a garbage disposal to leak from the top?
Leaks at the top are often linked to the sink flange or mounting assembly wearing out or loosening, especially in older units.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking from the bottom?
Bottom leaks usually indicate internal gasket failure or a damaged motor seal, which often means the unit requires replacement.
Why does water back up into the sink when using the disposal?
This typically points to a blockage in the drain trap (P-trap) or discharge tube rather than the disposal itself.
What does it mean if the disposal trips the reset button?
The overload protector activates when the motor overheats or is overloaded. Frequent resets mean the motor or grinding chamber needs inspection.
Why does my garbage disposal splash water back up?
A worn or loose splash guard can cause excessive splashing and may also affect grinding efficiency.
What’s the difference between continuous-feed and batch-feed disposals?
Continuous-feed models grind as soon as power is on, while batch-feed models require a cover to engage — useful for safety and preventing jams.
Can a faulty air switch or wall switch stop the disposal from working?
Yes. If the air switch, wall switch, or circuit breaker fails, the disposal won’t start even if the motor is fine.
How do you service a garbage disposal?
Servicing a garbage disposal involves checking the electrical connection, inspecting the grinding chamber, ensuring the flywheel and impellers move freely, and examining the drain line for blockages. A technician also looks for leaks, worn gaskets, or motor issues. Because disposals combine electricity, sharp components, and plumbing, proper servicing should be done by a professional to avoid damage or safety risks.
