Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement

A garbage disposal has to handle a lot of daily use. Over time, worn components, jams, plumbing problems, and leaks can cause the unit to stop operating properly.

Reel Plumbing provides garbage disposal services for a wide range of common problems, including:

• Garbage disposals that won’t turn on
• Jammed or stuck garbage disposals
• Disposals that hum but don’t grind
• Water leaking from the disposal
• Slow-draining kitchen sinks
• Frequent clogs or backups
• Unusual grinding or rattling noises
• Bad odors coming from the disposal
• Loose or leaking plumbing connections
• Garbage disposals that need to be replaced

Our plumbers can inspect both the disposal and the surrounding kitchen plumbing to determine what is causing the problem.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Garbage Disposal?

Not every malfunction means you need a new garbage disposal.

If the problem is caused by a jam, loose plumbing connection, minor leak, or another repairable issue, fixing the existing unit may be the most practical solution.

Replacement may make more sense when the disposal is older, badly corroded, repeatedly jams, develops significant leaks, or no longer performs reliably.

We’ll evaluate the condition of your disposal and explain your options so you can make an informed decision.

Garbage Disposal Installation

Installing a garbage disposal involves more than simply attaching a new appliance beneath the sink. The unit must connect correctly to the sink drain, plumbing system, dishwasher connection when applicable, and existing electrical connection.

Reel Plumbing can install a garbage disposal as part of a replacement or kitchen plumbing project.

Proper installation helps reduce the risk of leaks, drainage problems, excessive vibration, and premature equipment failure.

Replacing an Old Garbage Disposal

If your existing disposal has reached the end of its useful life, we can remove the old unit and install a replacement that works with your kitchen plumbing.

A new garbage disposal may provide:

• Quieter operation
• Improved grinding performance
• Better reliability
• Reduced risk of leaks
• Greater capacity
• Improved performance for everyday kitchen use

We’ll make sure the new disposal is properly connected and test the system before completing the job.

Garbage Disposal Leaking Under the Sink?

A leaking garbage disposal should be addressed before it causes damage inside the sink cabinet or surrounding kitchen.

Water can leak from several locations, including the sink flange, dishwasher connection, drainpipe connections, or the disposal itself.

The location of the leak is important because some leaks can be repaired while others may indicate that the disposal needs to be replaced.

If you notice water underneath your kitchen sink, Reel Plumbing can identify the source and recommend the appropriate repair.

Garbage Disposal Humming but Not Working?

If your garbage disposal hums when you turn it on but the blades do not move, the unit may be jammed.

Continuing to operate a jammed disposal can damage the motor.

Turn the disposal off and avoid putting your hand inside the unit. If the problem cannot be safely resolved, have a plumber inspect it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a garbage disposal be repaired?

Yes. Many garbage disposal problems can be repaired, particularly jams, plumbing connection leaks, drainage issues, and certain operational problems. If the disposal itself is badly damaged or worn out, replacement may be more economical.

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?

A humming disposal is commonly caused by a jam that prevents the grinding mechanism from moving. The disposal should be turned off until the problem is corrected to avoid damaging the motor.

Why is my garbage disposal leaking?

Garbage disposals can leak from the sink flange, drain connections, dishwasher connection, or the disposal housing itself. A plumber can locate the leak and determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

How do I know when my garbage disposal needs to be replaced?

Frequent jams, recurring leaks, excessive noise, poor grinding performance, corrosion, and repeated repairs can indicate that replacement is the better option.

Can Reel Plumbing install a new garbage disposal?

Yes. Reel Plumbing provides garbage disposal replacement and installation and can ensure the unit is properly connected to your kitchen plumbing.

Can a garbage disposal cause a kitchen sink to drain slowly?

Yes. Food debris, buildup, disposal problems, or a clog in the connected drain line can cause slow drainage or backups in a kitchen sink.

Should I put my hand inside a garbage disposal to remove a jam?

No. Never place your hand inside a garbage disposal. Turn the unit off and have the obstruction safely removed if you cannot resolve the problem without reaching into the disposal.
