How It Works

Our Milpitas Process

Check the simple stuff first

Many issues are a jam or a tripped reset switch — we check this before anything else.

Test the motor and seals

If it's not a simple fix, we look for a failing motor or worn seals.

Give you the honest call

Replacement gets recommended only when the unit's genuinely at the end of its life.

Test under real use

We run water and test grinding before considering the job complete.

Good to Know

Garbage Disposal Service FAQs

My disposal just hums but won't spin — is that a big repair?

Usually not — it's often a jam against the impellers, clearable without replacing the unit.

How long do garbage disposals typically last?

Most run 8 to 15 years depending on use — if yours is jamming often or smells like burning, it may genuinely be near the end.

Can you install a disposal I bought myself?

Yes, as long as it's compatible with your sink and electrical setup.
