A garbage disposal that hums but won't spin, or leaks under the sink, can bring kitchen cleanup to a halt. Our technicians check the flywheel, motor, and seals to get it running — or safely install a new unit.
A garbage disposal sits below your sink and grinds food waste using a spinning flywheel and blades. Jams, worn seals, and motor wear are the most common reasons a disposal stops working right. Some problems take just a few minutes to fix, while others mean the unit needs to be replaced.
Here are the most common disposal problems in Tucker homes, their likely cause, and how a repair visit works.
