Most garbage disposal calls come down to a jam, a leak, or a unit that's worn out. A jam is often a quick fix. A disposal leaking from the body of the unit usually needs to be replaced.
Call and we'll handle the repair or replacement, plus the clogged kitchen drain that tends to come with it.

Questions we hear a lot
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If it leaks from the unit itself or it's over about 10 years old, replacing it usually makes more sense. A jam or a tripped reset is a repair.
What shouldn't go down a disposal?
Grease, bones, stringy scraps like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, and pasta or rice in bulk. Those cause most jams and kitchen drain clogs.
Who do I call to fix a garbage disposal?
A plumber. The disposal ties into the sink drain and the trap under it, and most disposal calls come with a kitchen clog. Call 203-654-9405 and we'll repair it or swap in a new one.
Who can replace a garbage disposal the same day?
We can, most days. Read us the brand and horsepower on the label if you want a match, or we'll quote a new unit that fits your sink.
