What garbage disposal repair involves
Garbage disposal repair gets a jammed, leaking or dead unit working again without replacing it. Most failures come from jams caused by grease, fibrous scraps or objects that fell in, worn seals that leak under the sink, clogged drain connections, and tripped motors.
If your disposal hums but does not spin, grinds slowly, smells bad, or leaves water standing in the sink, it is worth a call before you reach in or buy a new one.
Mesquite Plumbing diagnoses the problem, clears jams safely, replaces failed seals and connections, and clears the drain line behind the unit. If the housing is cracked or the motor is burned out, we tell you so and give you a replacement option instead of a repair that will not last.
Never put your hand inside a disposal. Turn the unit off at the wall switch first, and if it is jammed, call us before trying anything with tools.

Questions
Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
Why does my disposal hum but not spin?
Usually something is jamming the grinding plate or the motor has overheated. Turn it off at the switch and call before reaching inside.
Can any disposal fit my sink?
Most fit a standard sink opening, but size, power and your drain layout matter. We help you choose before we install.
