The Austin angle

Jam, leak, or hum: the honest call.

A garbage disposal is a small appliance with a short list of failure modes. A jam or a tripped reset is a quick fix. A leak from the sink flange or the dishwasher connection is a repair. A leak from the body of the unit or a motor that hums and never turns is the end of its life, and no repair is worth the money.

We carry replacement units on the truck, so if the honest answer is a new disposal, it is installed and tested the same visit. Either way you see the price first, and the work is backed by our warranty.

Frequently asked questions.

My disposal hums but does not spin. Is it dead?+

Not necessarily. A hum usually means the motor has power but the impeller is jammed. If clearing the jam frees it, it is a quick repair. If the motor is seized, replacement is the honest answer, and we tell you which one you have on the spot.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?+

Repair a jam, a tripped reset, or a leak at a connection. Replace a unit that leaks from the body, has a seized motor, or is old enough that the next failure is close. We give you a straight recommendation, not a sales pitch.

Can you install a disposal where there was not one?+

Usually, yes. It needs a properly wired switch and outlet and the right drain configuration under the sink. We check both and quote the full job before starting.

How much will my service cost?+

It depends on the job, but we believe in transparent, upfront pricing. For many services we can give you a ballpark estimate over the phone, and you always see the price before any work begins. No upsell pressure.

Can I call any time?+

Yes. Our phone line is answered 24/7, so you can call day or night to describe the problem and get on the schedule. Our crews run during regular service hours, and we work to get a licensed plumber out at the first available appointment, same-day whenever possible.
