Our Repair and Replacement Process
Trust bluefrog’s Kitchen Plumbing Specialists
Our technician will inspect the unit for damage, test the electrical connections and reset button, check the mounting points and drain connections for leaks, and listen for motor issues. Once the issue has been diagnosed, we provide a written estimate before starting any work, so you know what to expect.
Our licensed technicians bring years of hands-on plumbing experience. For repairs, we use manufacturer-approved parts that match your unit’s specifications and follow proper installation standards for connections, mounting, and electrical work. When replacement makes better sense, we help you choose the right horsepower for your household and handle the complete installation to code.
We thoroughly test your disposal by running multiple cycles, checking drainage and grinding performance, listening for unusual sounds, and inspecting connections for leaks. We verify that the reset button works properly and the unit shuts down when it should. Before leaving, we clean the disposal and the surrounding area, remove debris from the cabinet, and dispose of old parts. When we are finished, your disposal will run smoothly, and your kitchen will look exactly as we found it, minus the plumbing problem.
Common Garbage Disposal Problems and How We Fix Them
Upgrade Your Kitchen with the Right System
Jammed or Humming Disposal
When your garbage disposal hums but does not grind, the flywheel is likely jammed. This commonly happens when items such as silverware, fruit pits, bones, or fibrous materials like celery become lodged inside the unit. Never reach into the disposal without first disconnecting power at the breaker, since the blades remain sharp and the unit could start unexpectedly. Our plumbers will safely disconnect the power, remove the obstruction, manually rotate the flywheel to confirm it moves freely, and test the unit before restoring service.
Leaks Under the Sink
Leaks show up as moisture on the disposal, drips from connections, or water pooling in the cabinet. The most common leak points are the mounting flange at the sink, the discharge tube gasket, and the dishwasher inlet. We inspect connections, replace worn seals, tighten fittings, and test the system for drips. Fixing leaks quickly prevents cabinet damage and musty odors.
Complete Unit Failure
When a garbage disposal unit won’t start, we first check the outlet, wall switch, reset button, and breaker. If these appear to be working, but the unit still won’t run, the motor has likely failed. This is especially common in units over 10 years old. In many cases, replacing the unit is more cost-effective than attempting to repair an aging motor. Our plumbers can help you select the right size and horsepower disposal for your needs and install it safely and in accordance with code.
Regular garbage disposal maintenance helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly repairs.
