Garbage Disposal Repair
Professional garbage disposal repair across the San Gabriel Valley & North County San Diego. Same-day service available.

A jammed, leaking, or dead garbage disposal is more than an inconvenience — it can lead to foul odors, slow drainage, and even plumbing backups if not addressed. Our technicians repair and replace garbage disposals quickly, typically in under an hour, so your kitchen sink returns to full function.
In the San Gabriel Valley, garbage disposals are standard in most kitchens and see heavy daily use. Older homes in El Monte, La Puente, and Baldwin Park sometimes have disposals with outdated wiring or worn-out motors that need replacement rather than repair. Newer developments in Walnut and Rowland Heights typically feature stronger units, but improper use — feeding bones, fibrous vegetables, or grease down the drain — is the leading cause of jams and failures regardless of the home's age.
North County San Diego homes experience similar disposal issues, with the added factor of hard water mineral buildup inside the grinding chamber and drain connections. In Escondido, Vista, and San Marcos, we frequently clear mineral-crusted drain fittings that reduce flow and contribute to odors. Premium homes in Carlsbad and Encinitas often have high-powered InSinkErator Evolution or Waste King models that can still fail from foreign objects or electrical issues. We service all brands and horsepower ratings.
Common Issues We Fix
Jammed or Stuck Flywheel
The most common garbage disposal issue. Bones, fruit pits, utensils, or fibrous foods can jam the grinding plate. We clear jams and check for motor damage.
Humming but Not Grinding
The motor is receiving power but the flywheel is stuck. This often requires manual unjamming and may indicate a weakening motor if it recurs.
Leaking from the Bottom
A leak from the bottom of the unit typically means the internal seal has failed, which usually requires replacement of the entire disposal.
Complete Electrical Failure
If the disposal does not hum or respond at all, the issue may be a tripped reset button, blown fuse, faulty wall switch, or a burned-out motor.
