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 Ferrum 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.
Every technician on a disposal call carries valid licensing and liability coverage.
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.
We clear the jam and test the unit through a full cycle before considering the job done.
{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.
Water pooling under the sink often traces to a worn seal or gasket in the disposal, repaired or the unit resealed.
We check the wiring and connection, not just the reset button, to find the actual cause of repeated tripping.
Persistent odors from the disposal are addressed with a proper flush and inspection of the drain trap beyond the unit itself.
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.

A humming motor with no spin is the classic sign of a mechanical jam, not usually a motor failure.
Units past 8-10 years with a significant failure often make more sense to replace — we'll give you honest numbers on both.
It depends on the issue — a jam clearing costs far less than a full replacement. We quote upfront before starting.
Often an electrical issue or an overloaded motor from grinding something too tough — we diagnose which it is.
Not always — sometimes it's just a worn seal or gasket that can be repaired without replacing the whole unit.
