Diagnose Your Issue
Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Garbage disposals wear out over time or become clogged due to improper use. If you notice any of these problems, it's best to address them early to avoid bigger plumbing issues:
Disposal not turning on
Usually a tripped reset button, blown fuse, or failed motor — we diagnose it quickly and fix the root cause.
Humming noise but no grinding
The motor is running but the grinding plate is jammed. Forcing it can burn out the motor — let us clear it safely.
Frequent clogs or slow draining
Often caused by improper items in the disposal or a partial blockage in the connected drain line.
Leaks under the sink
Leaks can occur at the sink flange, the side discharge port, or the drain connections — each requires a different fix.
Bad odors from the unit
Food particles trapped in the grinding chamber or on the splash guard cause persistent odors. Regular cleaning prevents this.
Jammed blades
Hard items like bones, pits, or utensils can jam the impeller plate. We clear jams safely without damaging the unit.
What We Do
Our Garbage Disposal Services
Garbage Disposal Repair
We diagnose and fix jams, leaks, electrical faults, and worn components quickly. Most repairs are completed in a single visit so your kitchen is back to normal the same day.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
When a unit is beyond repair or nearing the end of its lifespan, we install a new, reliable disposal — removing the old unit, ensuring proper drain connections, and testing before we leave.
New Installation
Installing a garbage disposal in a kitchen that doesn't have one requires electrical work and drain modifications. We handle everything — wiring, plumbing, and mounting — for a clean, code-compliant install.
Clog Removal
We clear blockages in the disposal chamber and the connected drain line, including the P-trap and further downstream if the clog has migrated. We also identify what caused the clog to prevent recurrence.

Pro Tips
Tips to Keep Your Garbage Disposal Working Properly
Most garbage disposal problems are preventable. Proper use and simple maintenance habits extend the life of your unit significantly — saving you money and avoiding unexpected kitchen disruptions.
Run cold water while operating
Cold water keeps fats solid so they grind and flush rather than coat the drain line.
Avoid grease, fats, and oils
They solidify downstream and cause stubborn clogs in drain lines and the P-trap.
Skip bones, shells, and pits
Hard items dull the grinding plate and can jam or damage the impeller.
No fibrous or stringy foods
Celery, artichokes, and corn husks wrap around the grinding mechanism and cause jams.
Clean regularly with ice and salt
Running ice cubes with coarse salt scrubs the grinding plate and removes buildup.
Use cold water for 15–30 seconds after
Keeps food particles moving through the drain line and prevents residue buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do garbage disposals last?
Most garbage disposals last between 8 and 15 years depending on usage frequency, what goes into them, and how well they're maintained. Signs it's time to replace rather than repair include frequent jamming, persistent leaks, a burning smell when running, or a motor that hums but won't turn. If your unit is over 10 years old and requiring repeated repairs, replacement is usually the more cost-effective path.
Can a garbage disposal be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes — many common issues can be repaired without replacing the entire unit. Jams caused by hard items, minor leaks at fittings, tripped reset buttons, and clogged drain lines are all repairable. However, a failed motor, cracked grinding chamber, or a unit over 10–12 years old typically makes more sense to replace. Our technicians give you an honest assessment and let you choose.
What should I avoid putting in a garbage disposal?
Avoid grease, fats, and oils (they solidify in drain lines), hard items like bones, fruit pits, and shellfish shells (they damage the grinding plate), fibrous foods like celery and artichokes (they wrap around the mechanism), expandable foods like pasta and rice (they swell and cause clogs), and non-food items. When in doubt, the trash is safer than the disposal.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal service in Colorado?
Yes. Same-day service is available for most garbage disposal repairs and replacements throughout our Colorado service area. Call (720) 255-9702 to check availability — we keep common replacement units on our trucks so we can often complete a full swap in the same visit.
