Where it leaks
A loose connection, sink flange, dishwasher hose, cracked body, and nearby faucet leak have different repairs. Water below the sink does not always come from the disposal.
A quiet sink is a good sink
Repair a jammed, leaking, humming, noisy, or nonworking garbage disposal, clear the connected drain when needed, and replace the unit when the motor or body has failed.

Your options
We look at the cause, the condition of the existing system, and what will work best for your property.
A loose connection, sink flange, dishwasher hose, cracked body, and nearby faucet leak have different repairs. Water below the sink does not always come from the disposal.
A simple jam or reset may be recoverable. A seized, burned-out, cracked, or repeatedly failing unit often makes replacement more practical.
A working disposal cannot fix a blocked trap or branch drain. Slow flow may require drain cleaning in addition to disposal service.
Around the Valley
Mineral deposits and corrosion can complicate old flanges, valves, and fittings. The surrounding sink plumbing should be checked before assuming the disposal is the only worn part.
Planning the work
What happens next
We ask what the unit does, where water appears, and whether the drain is slow.
Power is made safe and the disposal, connections, and drain are checked.
Repair and replacement choices are explained.
The approved work is completed and the sink, disposal, and connections are tested.
Common questions
The grinding assembly may be jammed or the motor may be unable to start. Turn it off and avoid repeated attempts, which can overheat the motor.
Leaks at a flange, hose, gasket, or drain connection may be repairable. A crack or leak through the disposal body usually calls for replacement.
It can contribute, but the trap or branch drain may be blocked even when the disposal runs. The drain path should be checked before replacing a working unit.

“They were polite, confident and took time to explain the problem and what they were going to do. They had to dig in the grass, but were as least destructive as possible.”
