Frequently Asked Questions

A humming sound means the motor is receiving power, but the grinding plates are physically jammed by food, bone, or a dropped utensil. Turn it off immediately to prevent the motor from burning out and call us to safely clear the jam.

 If the leak is coming from the top sink flange or the side drain pipe connection, we can usually replace the seals or tighten the fittings. However, if the leak is coming from the bottom of the unit or the main casing is cracked, the entire disposal must be replaced.

Avoid putting fibrous foods (like celery or corn husks), coffee grounds, eggshells, grease, and large bones down the drain. These items easily tangle the blades or create thick sludge that clogs your pipes.

A high-quality garbage disposal typically lasts between 8 to 12 years with proper use. If yours is constantly jamming, requires frequent resets, or has dull blades that no longer grind food efficiently, upgrading to a new model will make kitchen cleanup much easier.
