Most jams and failures are resolved in one trip.
Garbage disposal issues tend to fall into a few recognizable patterns.
A unit that hums but won't spin usually has a jammed impeller, often from a small object or fibrous food waste caught inside. A disposal that's completely silent when switched on has typically tripped its internal reset switch or lost power at the outlet. A unit that's leaking from underneath the sink generally has a worn seal or a loose mounting connection that's letting water escape during use.
Before any disassembly, our technicians confirm power is safely disconnected and check the reset switch and breaker first, since these account for a meaningful share of "dead" disposal calls. From there, we move to checking for physical jams and finally to leak sources if the unit is otherwise operating correctly.
We confirm the outlet, breaker, and internal reset switch before assuming a mechanical failure.
Using the correct tool, we manually rotate the impeller to check for and clear any physical obstruction.
For leaking units, we inspect the mounting assembly and internal seals for wear or looseness.
If the unit hums but won't spin even when clear, we test the motor and switch for electrical faults.
Failed seals, switches, or motors are replaced and the unit is reassembled to manufacturer specification.
We run the unit through a complete test cycle with water flowing before considering the job finished.
