Garbage disposal repair and replacement for jams, leaks, humming units, and kitchen plumbing issues. Available 7 days a week. Call +1 (207) 419-2600.
Garbage disposal problems in West Hollywood kitchens follow predictable patterns. A humming, non-spinning unit is jammed — the motor is running but the grinding plate is stuck. Use the Allen wrench port at the base of the unit (never reach inside) to free it. A completely silent unit with no response has an electrical issue. Leaks at the sink flange are a mounting problem; leaks from the bottom indicate internal seal failure.
When a disposal reaches the end of its service life — typically 8–12 years — repair is often less cost-effective than replacement. Modern units are quieter, more powerful, and better sealed than older models. Installation includes drain connection and flow testing to confirm the new unit is properly integrated with the sink's drain system.

The motor is running but the grinding plate is jammed. Use the Allen wrench port at the bottom to free it. Never reach inside the unit.
A leak at the sink flange is a mounting issue — repairable. A leak from the bottom indicates internal seal failure — the unit needs replacement.
Well-maintained units typically last 8–12 years. If yours is over 10 with multiple issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
Grease, fibrous vegetables (celery, artichokes), pasta, rice, coffee grounds, bones, and fruit pits all cause problems. Run cold water during and 15–20 seconds after operation.
Food residue on grinding components or the drain baffle. Cleaning with disposal tablets or grinding citrus peels with cold water helps. Persistent odor may indicate drain line buildup.
