Cookeville, Sparta and Crossville

Garbage disposal repair

A disposal that hums, leaks or does nothing at all. We repair it when repair makes sense and replace it when it does not, and we tell you which before we start.

Repair or replace

A jam or a loose connection is usually a repair. A cracked housing, a leak from the bottom of the unit or a motor that has burned out means a new disposal.

Before you call

Two safe things to try first.

  • Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit
  • Check the breaker or the outlet under the sink

Keep the new one running

Run cold water while it grinds, and keep grease, bones, coffee grounds and fibrous peels like celery out of it. Most disposals that fail early were fed one of those.

Common questions

Why does my disposal hum but not spin?

Something is jammed between the plate and the housing. Turn it off at the switch and never put a hand inside. If the reset button does not free it, call us.

Why is my disposal leaking from the bottom?

A leak from the bottom of the unit usually means the seals inside have failed, and that means replacement. A leak at the side is often a loose connection we can fix.
