How It Works
From your first call
to working again.
- Step 1:
Diagnose the Issue
We determine if it's a jam, electrical failure, worn grinding plates, or a leak. Most problems are obvious within 5 minutes.
- Step 2:
Recommend Repair or Replace
If it's repairable, we fix it. If the unit is old or the motor is gone, we'll tell you — and have a replacement on the truck.
- Step 3:
Install or Repair
New units are installed in 30–45 minutes. We check the drain connection, electrical, and test with water running.
- Step 4:
Clean Up & Test
We run the unit fully loaded, check for leaks under the sink, and make sure you're confident using it before we leave.
Know the Signs
Repair it or replace it?
Here's how we think about it.
Repair vs. replacement
The right call depends on what's actually wrong and how old the unit is.
Unit is jammed
Usually repairA jammed disposal is often a 10-minute fix. Reset button, hex wrench, and it's running again. No replacement needed.
Humming but not spinning
Check firstCould be a stuck impeller. Sometimes fixable. If the motor is burned out, replacement is the better call.
Leaking from the bottom
ReplaceA bottom leak means the internal seals have failed. Not worth repairing. We carry common units on the truck.
Signs your disposal needs attention
Don't wait until it fails completely or causes a leak under the sink.
- Disposal hums but won't spin
- Leaking under the sink
- Grinding or rattling noises
- Disposal won't turn on at all
- Frequent jams or resets needed
- Unit is 10+ years old
FAQ
Common questions
Everything homeowners ask before calling us.
Repair calls typically run $75–$175 depending on the issue. Replacement installs — including the unit — generally run $200–$450 depending on the model you choose. We give you a clear price before we start, so there are no surprises. Most disposals are quick jobs that don't require a long service visit.
Most disposal installations take 30–45 minutes. If there's an existing unit to remove, plumbing connections to update, or electrical work involved, it can run a bit longer. We come prepared to handle it in a single visit.
Technically yes, but most homeowners run into issues with the drain connection, the mounting assembly, or making sure the wiring is safe. An improper install can lead to leaks under the sink or tripped breakers. We install it right the first time — including confirming the electrical and drain are both solid.
We stock and install InSinkErator (Badger and Evolution series), Moen, and Waste King. If you have a preference or already purchased a unit, we can install that too. We'll recommend the right model for your usage and budget if you're not sure.
A humming disposal that won't spin usually means the grinding plate is jammed — often a piece of hard debris has locked the impeller. This is frequently a quick fix: a reset and a turn with a hex wrench under the unit can free it. If the motor is burned out, replacement is the better call. We'll diagnose it and tell you which situation you're in.
Yes. Garbage disposal calls are usually quick, and we offer same-day service throughout Concord and Contra Costa County in most cases. Call us at (925) 288-0409 and we'll get someone out fast.
Yes. A disposal that repeatedly trips its reset button is usually overloading — either because something is caught in the grinding chamber, the motor is struggling, or the unit is simply worn out. We'll find the cause. If it's a jam, we clear it. If the motor is failing, we'll let you know whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the unit's age.

Don't take our
word for it.
“Fixed our disposal in under an hour — was completely dead, now works perfectly. Fair price.”
“Called at 9am and they were here by noon. Jammed disposal, they cleared it in about 15 minutes, showed me how to use the reset button properly, and were on their way. No upsell, just the fix.”
“Old disposal was leaking from the bottom — they told me right away that it wasn't worth fixing at the age it was. New InSinkErator installed same visit. Clean, fast, and they left no mess under the sink.”
