What A Garbage Disposal Does And When You Need Service
A garbage disposal grinds small food scraps so they wash away with your dishwasher. When it works well, your sink drains faster, and odors stay away. If you notice humming without grinding, frequent resets, leaks under the sink, unpleasant smells that keep returning, or trips of the kitchen GFCI, it is time to have a pro take a look. Many issues are minor, but waiting can lead to motor failure or cabinet damage from leaks.
Thinking about an upgrade? Newer disposals run quieter, use less energy, and include better anti-jam features. If your unit is older, repairs are frequent, or the housing has visible corrosion or cracks, replacement usually makes the most sense.
Benefits Of Professional Garbage Disposal Service
- Clean, code-conscious installation that protects your sink, trap, and dishwasher connections
- Proper electrical and GFCI considerations so the unit runs safely
- Correct sizing and sound insulation for quieter operation
- No surprises from leaks, cross-threaded fittings, or misaligned flanges

Our Step-By-Step Process
- Listen and Inspect: We confirm symptoms, check wiring and the air switch or wall switch, and inspect the sink flange, trap, and dishwasher drain connection.
- Clear The Problem: For jams, we safely free the impellers, reset the unit, and test run. For leaks, we isolate the source at the flange, discharge tube, or housing.
- Repair Or Replace: If repairs are practical, we replace worn gaskets, seals, or cords. If replacement is smarter, we help you choose the right horsepower and features.
- Precision Installation: We mount the new unit, align the discharge, set the proper trap height, and secure all connections. Water testing comes first, then power testing.
- Final Check And Clean-Up: We run a performance test with ice and water, review simple care tips, and leave your sink area clean.

Brighton Home Context: What We See Most
Homes around Brighton include a mix of newer builds with deep sinks and dishwashers, and older homes with shallow basins and legacy piping. That mix can create unique fitting and drainage challenges. We frequently address:
- Units that are undersized for family use, leading to frequent jams
- Improper trap height is causing slow drains or standing water in the chamber
- Leaky sink flanges from dried or misapplied plumber’s putty
- Dishwasher discharge routing that backflows into the sink
Our techs bring the right fittings to adapt to your sink and drain layout and ensure the disposal, trap, and dishwasher all work together the way they should.
Repair Vs. Replacement: How We Help You Decide
We will walk you through a simple decision tree. If the motor is burned out, the housing is cracked, or you are resetting the unit weekly, replacement is usually the better value. If the issue is a jam, tripped GFCI, worn gasket, or loose flange, a targeted repair can extend the life of your current disposal. Either way, you will get clear options and pricing before we begin.
Care And Use Tips To Keep Things Flowing
- Run cold water before, during, and at least 10 seconds after grinding
- Feed small amounts at a time and keep utensils away from the opening
- Avoid fibrous peels, stringy vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and grease
- Use ice occasionally to help scour the chamber and keep it smelling fresh
If your sink still drains slowly after proper use, the issue may be downstream. We can evaluate the trap, branch line, and vent while we are there, and our plumbing contractor team can handle any needed drain work.
Coordinating With Your Kitchen Appliances
We make sure dishwasher discharge and air gap or high loop are set correctly to prevent odors and backflow. If your switch or air switch is acting up, we will inspect the connection and advise on a safe fix or upgrade. If a broader comfort project is on your list, our team also offers home comfort help through our HVAC services.
