Call (616) 344-5978When a garbage disposal jams, leaks, or stops entirely, the kitchen sink becomes unusable.

A motor that hums but does not spin means a jam. Grinding noise without effective food processing points to worn impellers. Leaking from the bottom indicates a failed internal seal, usually meaning the unit needs replacement rather than repair. Persistent odor after cleaning, frequent overload trips, and slow draining after use all warrant professional evaluation.
The disposal is tested to identify the failure mode. Jams are cleared and operation is verified. For worn components, repair versus replacement is evaluated based on the unit's age and overall condition. New installations include selecting the right unit, removing the old disposal, updating mounting and drain connections, wiring, and thorough testing. Dishwasher drain hookup and P-trap condition are checked as part of every installation.
Disposal work is efficient and reliable when done properly. Units are installed with secure connections, correct wiring, and verified operation. Clean workspace, clear pricing, no callbacks.
