A disposal that jams, hums without spinning, leaks, or has simply reached the end of its life. We repair and install garbage disposals across Queen Creek, sized to your household and installed correctly the first time.
Recognize the issue? Call (480) 741-9332 for a real price.
We size a new disposal to your household's actual cooking habits rather than defaulting to the biggest unit available, and every installation includes properly connecting the dishwasher line if your kitchen has one, since that's a common point where a rushed install goes wrong.
Even a well-maintained disposal isn't built for everything. Fibrous foods like celery, corn husks, and onion skins are the most common jam cause we see, since the stringy fibers wrap around the flywheel instead of getting cut. Coffee grounds and eggshells don't jam the unit, but they can build up in the drain line below it over time, which shows up later as a slow-draining sink rather than a disposal problem. Grease and cooking oil should never go down any drain, disposal or not, since it solidifies and coats the inside of your pipes as it cools.
None of this means you need to babysit the unit constantly. Running cold water for a few seconds before and after use, and avoiding the items above, is genuinely enough to keep most disposals working well for years.

Most residential disposals are built to last 10 to 15 years with normal use, though the motor and seals are what typically fail first, not the grinding components themselves. If your unit is in that age range and starting to act up, replacement is usually the more sensible call than a repair, since a motor or seal repair on an older unit tends to be a short-term fix at best. For a unit under 5 years old, a repair almost always makes more sense.

That usually means the flywheel is jammed, often by a piece of fibrous food waste or a small object that fell in. It can often be cleared safely, but never reach into a disposal by hand, even when it's off. We can usually clear it or confirm it needs replacing.
A leak at the base almost always means the internal seal has worn out, which isn't something that can be repaired. At that point, replacement is the practical option.
A standard swap to a similar-sized unit is usually under an hour. If we're connecting a disposal for the first time to a sink that's never had one, it can take a bit longer to run the additional wiring and plumbing.
For most households, a 1/2 to 3/4 horsepower unit is plenty. Larger households or anyone who cooks heavily may benefit from a 3/4 to 1 horsepower model. We'll size it to your actual kitchen use, not just sell the biggest option.
Yes, most disposals have a small red reset button on the bottom of the unit. If it's tripped, pressing it can solve the problem immediately. If it trips again right away, that points to a deeper issue worth having checked.
