Plumber accessing supply and drain lines during a repair visit by Duncan Family Plumbing

We repair jammed, leaking, and humming garbage disposals, and install new units when a repair no longer makes sense. Most jams and minor leaks are fixed in a single visit, and we’ll always tell you honestly when a unit’s age means replacement is the better value.

Watch for these

Signs Your Disposal Needs Attention

Signs you need this

✓A humming sound but the blades won’t turn
✓Frequent jamming, even with normal use
✓Leaking from underneath the sink near the unit
✓A burning smell after running the disposal
✓Unusually loud grinding or rattling noises

Why it happens

A humming disposal that won’t turn almost always means a jam or a tripped internal reset switch, not a dead motor. Leaks typically come from worn seals at the sink flange or the drain connection, which get more common as a unit ages past 8 to 10 years of regular use.

Our process

How We Handle Disposal Repairs

We check for a simple jam first

Many "dead" disposals are a quick manual reset away from working again.

We test the motor and switch

If it’s an electrical or motor issue, we diagnose it before recommending a fix.

We repair or replace as makes sense

A worn seal gets fixed; a unit past its service life gets swapped for a new one.

We test under real use

We run water and the disposal together to confirm it’s working and leak-free.

Questions

Garbage Disposal Questions, Answered

My disposal just hums — is it broken?

Not necessarily. A hum with no grinding usually means the blades are jammed or the internal reset switch has tripped, both of which are often a quick fix.

How long should a garbage disposal last?

Most units last 8 to 12 years with normal use. Frequent jamming or repeat leaks past that age usually means replacement is the better value than another repair.

Why is my disposal leaking from underneath?

Most commonly a worn seal at the sink flange or a loose drain connection — both fixable, though a cracked housing means the unit needs replacing.

Can you install a disposal I bought myself?

Yes — we’ll install a unit you’ve purchased and flag it honestly if we see any fit or quality concerns before connecting it.

Is it normal for a disposal to smell bad?

A mild odor between uses is common and usually clears with regular cleaning. A burning smell during operation is different and worth having checked promptly.
