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 Millbrae technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
We give you real numbers on both options so you can decide, not just push the more profitable one.

These are the garbage disposal issues we see most often across Millbrae, CA.
A disposal that hums but won't spin usually has something lodged in the flywheel, cleared safely with the power disconnected first.
