Most people don’t think about their garbage disposal until it stops. It grinds food waste so your sink drains and doesn’t smell — and it can break down when overloaded or neglected.
If your disposal is humming, leaking or won’t turn on, call us or book online. We repair and install disposals.
Types we work on
- Batch feed
- Continuous feed

Humming but not grinding

Maintenance tips
- Keep hard items out
- Bones, coffee beans, fruit pits and seeds don’t belong in a disposal.
- Grind ice now and then
- A handful of ice cleans the grinding chamber and clears leftover scraps.
- Run cold water
- Cold water firms up fat and oil so it gets chopped instead of coating the drain.
