Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation
A disposal that hums, jams, leaks or stopped completely, repaired or swapped for a new unit.
Read morePick the problem you have and read what it usually means, what a repair involves and what to do while you wait.
Each page below covers one kind of job. If you are not sure which fits, start with the symptom: water where it should not be, no hot water, a drain that will not clear, or a smell of gas. Then call and describe it. A plumber can tell you which service you need before anything is booked.
Older homes often have parts that newer houses rarely have, such as galvanized supply lines, clay sewer laterals and basement sump pits, so several pages cover them. Emergency repair pages say when a problem cannot wait for morning.
