Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a repair or replacement?
If it hums or is jammed, it's often repairable. If it's leaking from the bottom casing or the motor is silent despite having power, it usually needs replacement.
Do you carry replacements with you?
Yes, we typically stock standard 1/2 HP and 3/4 HP Badger/Moen disposals so we can solve the problem in one visit.
Why is my disposal humming?
A hum usually means power is reaching the motor but the flywheel is stuck (jammed). Turn it off immediately to avoid burning out the motor and call us.
Can I use boiling water to clear a clog?
No, boiling water can melt seals and grease, causing leaks further down the line. Use cold water when running the disposal.
What shouldn't I put down the disposal?
Avoid fibrous veggies (celery), coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and grease. These are the top causes of jams and clogs.
