Garbage Disposal Services We Provide

Our garbage disposal services are designed to address common kitchen plumbing issues, including:

  • Garbage disposal jams or humming units
  • Disposals that will not turn on
  • Leaking garbage disposal units
  • Slow draining sinks caused by disposal issues
  • Odors caused by food buildup inside the unit
  • Replacement of worn or outdated disposal units
  • New garbage disposal installation where applicable

We help you determine whether repair or replacement is the most cost-effective option.

Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair or Replacement

You may need professional garbage disposal service if you notice:

  • Loud grinding, rattling, or humming sounds
  • The disposal will not turn on or keeps tripping the breaker
  • Water leaking from the bottom of the unit
  • Persistent odors that do not go away with cleaning
  • Frequent clogs after using the disposal
  • An older unit that no longer performs reliably

Ignoring these issues can lead to sink backups or damage to surrounding plumbing.

Repair vs. Replacement: What to Expect

In some cases, a simple repair can restore normal operation. However, garbage disposals have a limited lifespan. Units that are older, leaking from the housing, or repeatedly clogging are often better replaced. Our plumbers explain the condition of your unit and provide clear recommendations without pressure.

How Our Garbage Disposal Service Works

You schedule service by calling (614) 333-8092 or booking online. A experienced, insured plumber arrives, inspects the garbage disposal and surrounding plumbing, and explains the cause of the problem. You receive a flat-rate price before any work begins. Once approved, we complete the repair or replacement, test the unit for proper operation, and clean the work area.

We also review proper usage tips to help extend the life of your new or repaired disposal.

Garbage Disposal FAQs

Why won't my garbage disposal turn on?
A disposal that won't turn on is usually caused by a tripped thermal overload reset button on the bottom of the unit, a tripped circuit breaker, or a failed switch. If resetting the button and checking the breaker doesn't restore power, the unit may need internal repair or replacement.
What can I put in a garbage disposal?
Garbage disposals handle small, soft food scraps best. Avoid fibrous foods like celery and artichokes, hard items like bones and fruit pits, grease and oil, coffee grounds, and starchy foods like pasta and rice. Running cold water during and after use helps flush the drain.
Can a leaking garbage disposal be repaired?
It depends on where the leak originates. Leaks from the sink mounting, dishwasher connection, or drain pipe are usually repairable. Leaks from the bottom of the unit typically indicate a cracked housing or failed internal seal, which usually means replacement is more practical.
How long does a garbage disposal last?
With normal use and occasional maintenance, most garbage disposals last 8 to 15 years. Units that are used frequently, handle the wrong food types, or show signs of reduced performance may need earlier replacement.
How long does garbage disposal installation take?
Standard garbage disposal installation typically takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on whether we are replacing an existing unit or installing where there was none before. Our plumbers clean up after the job and test the unit before leaving.

Transit & Flow Group did an excellent job with the flooring and interior painting to get my property rent ready. Their team delivered quality workmanship and clear communication, leaving the property looking fresh and ready for new tenants. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend them for flooring, painting, and rental property improvements!

Excellent service. I put out a request on Thumbtack for a hot water heater service. Michael from Transit and Flow called in 5 minutes. A tech arrived a few hours later. The 20 year old tank was bad. That was yesterday. He had a new one installed today. Very impressed having a new water heater installed in under 24 hours. Highly recommended Transit and Flow .

Our basement got flooded overnight with water coming from the concrete floor. We suspected it came from the clogged down spouts and drains outside. It was Saturday morning with more heavy rain coming same day. In total panic, I went on thumbtack feeling pretty hopeless to find someone fast given it was the weekend. Michael responded within minutes, talked me through the issue and coordinated a technician to come out the same afternoon. Ryan showed up shortly after and diagnosed the issue with a price estimate that seemed reasonable. He said he had all the tools to get it fixed right away and by the same evening everything was fixed. Ryan was super curtious, polite and hard working. We were beyond pleased with the outcome. Huge thank you to Michael for his responsiveness, friendliness, willingness to help in an urgent manner and Ryan for doing a fantastic job! I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed. All the best with a huge thank you!
