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.

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.
