Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation in Algonquin, IL
A disposal that hums but won't spin, leaks under the sink or finally quit after 15 years. We repair it or replace it, with a flat price before we start. From our office on Esplanade Drive.
Garbage Disposal Trouble?
The usual calls:
It Hums
Something is jammed between the plates. Turn off the switch before you look.
It's Dead Silent
Press the red reset button on the bottom. Still nothing? The motor or wiring has failed.
It Leaks
A drip at the sink flange or a hose can be fixed. Water from the unit's body means it's done.
It Smells
Food trapped under the splash guard or grease in the drain line below.
Garbage Disposals in Algonquin Kitchens
In a town full of family kitchens, disposals work hard.
Original Units Wearing Out
A disposal installed with a 1990s or 2000s home is probably on borrowed time. Most last about 8 to 15 years.
Upgrades During Remodels
A kitchen remodel is a good time for a quieter, more powerful unit.
Drain Lines Behind It
Slow draining often means grease in the line behind the disposal. We check it.
Dishwasher Drains Through the Disposal
In most kitchens, the dishwasher drains through the disposal. A clogged disposal can make the dishwasher back up too, so we check both.
