Garbage Disposal Installation and Repair in Naperville, IL
A disposal that hums but won't grind, leaks into the cabinet or quit altogether. We repair garbage disposals and install new ones with a flat price before we start, from our office on Main Street in Naperville.
Common Garbage Disposal Problems
These are the calls we get most:
Hums, Won't Grind
Something is jammed between the plate and the housing. Switch it off at the wall and keep your hands out.
Dead Silent
Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit. If nothing happens, the motor or wiring has failed.
Leaking
A leak at the sink flange or dishwasher hose is a repair. A leak from the body of the unit means it's time for a new one.
Slow Sink or Smell
Food buildup in the unit or the drain below it. If the sink backs up, see drain cleaning.
Garbage Disposals in Naperville Kitchens
Garbage disposal repair is one of the most searched fixture services in Naperville, and many homes here have had one since they were built.
Second and Third Units
In homes from the 1980s and 1990s, the disposal has usually been replaced at least once. Swapping one is quick when the mount matches.
Islands and Prep Sinks
Remodeled kitchens sometimes add a disposal at an island sink. We check the drain and the outlet before we quote.
Grease Is the Real Problem
Naperville lists grease as a common cause of sewer blockages. The disposal grinds food, but grease passes through and hardens further down.
