Can a jammed disposal be saved?

Usually yes. A jam means something is wedged in the grind chamber — it doesn't mean the motor is dead. Cleared properly and tested, most jammed disposals come back fine.

What size disposal do I need?

It depends on your household — how many people, how much you cook, and how much you ask of it. We match the horsepower and grinding capacity to how you actually use the kitchen.

Why does my disposal smell even after cleaning?

Food buildup collects below the grind ring and in the drain baffle, beyond where citrus peels reach. A proper cleaning of those areas — and often a new splash guard — takes the smell away.

Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement Rochester NY

The details, in plain language

A disposal that hums without grinding has a jammed plate. One that leaks from the bottom needs replacing. One that trips its reset button repeatedly is telling you something is wrong inside. Knowing which is which is the difference between a ten-minute fix and a weekend of frustration.

We clear jams, reset and test motors, seal leaking connections, and install new disposals — including wiring, drain alignment, and dishwasher hookup. We'll also tell you honestly when the unit under your sink has reached the end of its useful life.
