A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life. Our Sterrett technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
If a disposal is old and the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we'll tell you honestly instead of patching it.
Disposal work involves both plumbing and electrical connections — our Sterrett technicians are trained and insured for both.
A non-functioning disposal gets prompt scheduling since it affects daily kitchen use.
You'll know the repair or replacement price before any work begins.
From a simple jammed flywheel to a full unit replacement, we diagnose before recommending the fix.
A disposal that hums but won't spin usually has something lodged in the flywheel, cleared safely with the power disconnected first.
{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
When a unit is beyond repair, we install a properly sized replacement matched to your sink and usage needs.
We isolate whether the leak is the disposal itself or a connection point before recommending a fix.
A disposal that keeps tripping its reset button or the circuit breaker gets a full electrical diagnosis, not just a reset and hope.
We check whether the odor is actually the disposal or a trap issue further down the line.
A quick call gets a technician scheduled with common disposal parts on hand.
A technician arrives within the scheduled window ready to diagnose the unit and connections.
You'll know the real cost comparison before deciding how to proceed.
We run the disposal through a complete test cycle before calling the job done, then back it with a warranty.
