Common Questions

Garbage Disposal Repair FAQ

These answers are general guidance. The right solution depends on the conditions at your property.

A humming sound often means the motor is energized while the grinding components are unable to turn. Continued operation can overheat the unit.

It depends on where the leak originates. Some connection or mounting leaks can be corrected; a cracked or failed body may make replacement more sensible.

Hard objects, grease, fibrous waste and large quantities of food can contribute to jams or drain problems.
