Garbage disposal questions we hear every day

Why does my disposal hum but not grind?

The blades are usually jammed by a hard object or build-up. Turn the power off at the switch before doing anything else, then call us if it won’t free up.

Can you install a disposal the same day?

In most cases, yes. If you already have the unit, installation is usually done in one visit.

My disposal won’t turn on. What should I check?

Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit and check the breaker. If it still won’t run, the switch, wiring or motor may need attention.

Do you install disposals where there wasn’t one before?

Yes. We handle the plumbing and add the switch and outlet or hardwired connection, since we’re plumbers and electricians.

What should I not put down a disposal?

Grease, bones, fibrous vegetables, pasta, rice and coffee grounds cause most jams and clogs.

How long do garbage disposals last?

Typically around 8 to 15 years, depending on the model and how it’s used.
