What Is Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation?
- Motor repair and jam removal
- Leak sealing and gasket replacement
- Complete unit installation and rewiring
- Sink disposal replacement and alignment
- System upgrades to energy-efficient models
A well-functioning disposal prevents clogs, reduces food waste buildup, and keeps your kitchen smelling fresh. Fun fact: modern units can reduce up to 20% of household waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
How Garbage Disposal Repair vs Replacement Works
Not every broken garbage disposal needs to be thrown out. Some issues just need a skilled plumber and the right tools, while others call for a full replacement. Here’s how our garbage disposal repair and installation team figures out what’s best for you:
Garbage Disposal Repair
- Fixing jammed blades and clogged impellers
- Replacing worn seals, gaskets, or wiring connections
- Resetting motors and restoring safe operation
- Cleaning buildup that slows down performance
These repairs normally take less than an hour and can extend your disposal’s lifespan by many years, saving you money and avoiding the mess of a full install.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
If your disposal’s motor only makes sounds but doesn’t spin, leaks from multiple points, or simply can’t keep up anymore, it’s best to replace it. We offer professional garbage disposal installation using high-efficiency models that:
- Grind food waste faster and quieter
- Reduce clogs in your kitchen drain line
- Resetting motors and restoring safe operation
- Come with solid manufacturer warranties
Our trusted plumbers handle the electrical setup, plumbing alignment, and testing so you never deal with guesswork or hidden costs.
Still unsure? We’ll inspect your unit and explain your options clearly, including the garbage disposal replacement cost and what fits your kitchen best. It’s honest guidance from plumbers who’ve been serving Los Angeles homes for over 50 years.
We provide complete services across California, including:

How to Maintain a Garbage Disposal
- Before and after using your disposal, run cold water for at least 15 seconds to help remove food particles and keep the motor cool.
- Avoid putting fibrous or hard waste like bones, corn husks, eggshells, or coffee grounds inside.
- Drop in a few ice cubes and lemon peels once a week to clean the blades and control odors.
- Never pour oil or grease down the drain; they solidify and cause clogs.
- If the disposal jams, use the reset button or call a garbage disposal repair service instead of forcing it manually.
In addition to preventing blockages, routine maintenance can lower repair costs and increase the lifespan of your system by many years.
