Why Hamden disposals quit
Age is the big one. A disposal that came with a house bought ten or fifteen years ago is near the end. Grease and coffee grounds clogging the line past the disposal is the other.
A lot of Hamden homes have finished basements, which turns a small leak or a failed sump pump into an expensive problem fast. Catching it early is most of the battle.
What to do right now
- Shut the disposal off at the switch.
- Hit the reset button on the bottom of the unit.
- Work a jam free with the hex key underneath.
- Check the cabinet floor under the sink for water.
- Call us if it leaks or won't turn.
What it costs
A jam or reset is on the low end. A new disposal plus installation costs more depending on the unit you pick. We price both repair and replacement so you can pick.
