Garbage Disposal Problems

The usual calls:

It Hums but Won't Spin

Something is jammed. Turn it off at the switch first.

It's Silent

Press the reset button. If it still won't run, the motor or wiring has failed.

It Leaks

From the flange or a hose, it's a repair. From the body, a replacement.

It Drains Slowly

Buildup in the unit or in the older drain line behind it.

Local Knowledge

Garbage Disposals in Geneva Kitchens

Disposal work in Geneva varies with the age of the kitchen.

First Disposal in an Older Kitchen

Some kitchens in historic homes never had one. We check the drain, the dishwasher connection and the power under the sink before quoting.

Old Drain Lines Under the Sink

A new disposal can expose a corroded drain arm in an older home. We check it while we're there.

Swaps in Newer Homes

In homes built after 1990, replacing an old disposal is usually quick.
