Garbage Disposal Repairs & Replacements
A garbage disposal is a relatively simple device. It has a motor, a grinding plate, and electrical wiring to turn it on and off. If there’s a problem inside the housing, usually you’ll need disposal replacement, but most of the time, the problem with your unit is external. Something may have fallen inside and jammed the plate, or something has clogged the drain further down. Either way, our plumbers can get things moving again.
You can count on us for other kitchen plumbing services, too:
Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Service
If you flick the switch and only hear a humming noise, it’s a big sign that there’s something wrong with your disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Repair or Replace My Garbage Disposal?
If your garbage disposal is more than 7 years old and needs more than minor fixes, it’s time for disposal installation in TX. Our hard water can take a toll on kitchen appliances, making it better to replace aging systems.
What items should not go in a disposal?
Only food should go down your garbage disposal, and not all food waste is a good idea. Avoid tough peels and starchy vegetables, since these can leave a residue that can clog your drains or jam your disposal.
Can you install a garbage disposal in any sink?
No. To fit a disposal, you need a sink with a standard kitchen-size drain (3.5 inches) and enough cabinet space underneath. You may also need specialty installation for farmhouse sinks or ceramic basins.
