Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix
Our certified technicians diagnose and fix the most common garbage disposal issues across Portland metro and Vancouver, WA. Same-day arrival, written quotes, 90-day warranty.
Disposal humming, not spinning
Almost always a jam. We unjam, lubricate, and reset — usually a 15-minute fix.
Dead silent / no power
Tripped breaker, reset button, or burned-out motor. We test the circuit, the switch, and the unit.
Leaking under sink
Could be the top mounting flange, the dishwasher inlet, or the bottom seal. Each is a different fix.
Slow draining
Clogged discharge line, broken impeller, or weak motor. We clear, test, and recommend.
Loud grinding or rattling
Foreign object stuck in the chamber. We remove it before it damages the impellers.
Sink full of water
Either the disposal is clogged or the kitchen drain is. We diagnose which and clear it.

FAQ
How much does garbage disposal repair cost?
A typical unjam and reset is $89 to $120. A new disposal installation including parts ranges from $250 to $450 depending on the model. We always quote in writing before starting work.
Should I repair or replace my old disposal?
If your disposal is over 10 years old and has motor or seal issues, replacement is almost always more cost-effective. We will give you a straight answer based on the brand, age, and problem.
How long does a disposal installation take?
Most disposal installations take 45 to 90 minutes. We bring the disposal, do the install, and test everything on-site.
What brand do you recommend for a new disposal?
For most homes, the InSinkErator Evolution series gives the best balance of price, quietness, and durability. Waste King is a good budget option. For high-end kitchens, the InSinkErator Pro series is excellent.
My disposal is leaking — is it covered by my homeowner insurance?
A leaking disposal that causes water damage to cabinets or floors is often covered, but the disposal itself is not. We will document the leak in our report so you can submit a claim if needed.
