Coming to the Rescue with Garbage Disposal Services
Our plumbers understand how important it is to get to your home quickly for repairs. That is why we offer same-day plumbing for everything from garbage disposal repair to clog removal. When your garbage disposal is broken, you can end up not being able to use the rest of your kitchen plumbing. We will be here, no matter the problem, to get your kitchen up and running again.
Troubleshooting Your Garbage Disposal
There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your disposal. Some of the problems might be from misuse of the fixture, but others are the result of wear and tear. You can troubleshoot the problem yourself by reading through this list of common problems:
Why Is My Garbage Disposal Not Draining?
A garbage disposal that is no longer draining usually has a clog. If you have tried running your disposal but there is still standing water in your sink, you might have a clogged drain. Clogs can happen when you pour grease, oats, rice, coffee grounds, shrimp shells, or vegetable peels into your disposal. Call us to unclog your drains.
Why Is My Garbage Disposal Humming?
If something has gotten down into your disposal and jammed it, the device will make a humming noise when you try to run it. You may have dropped a spoon or another non-food item down by accident. Make sure not to keep running your disposal. Instead, call for service. Always turn the power off on your disposal before trying to fish out any objects.
Why Won’t My Garbage Disposal Turn On?
Sometimes a switch on the disposal can get flipped by accident, causing the disposal to not turn on. If it is still plugged in and still switched on, you will need garbage disposal repair.

Garbage Disposal Replacement & New Installation
Sometimes, the problem with your disposal is not fixable. If this is the situation, we will recommend a garbage disposal replacement. We never put pressure on you to make these decisions. We simply give you the best information we can and then let you decide what will most help your home. Garbage disposals typically last around 10 years, so you can expect to replace yours sometime after that.
We can also install a garbage disposal in your home even if you have never had one before. Our garbage disposal installation services are quick so you’ll have your new disposal by the end of the day.
Signs That You Need a Garbage Disposal Replacement
You can watch out for signs that you need a new garbage disposal such as:
- New noises
- Water leaking from the unit
- Bad odors that will not go away
- A unit that will not turn on
- Continual clogging
- A disposal that doesn’t work well anymore
Proudly Offering InSinkErator
When it comes to your kitchen plumbing, we only want you to have the best. We do not want you to have to put up with clogged drains or a disposal that does not really do its job. That is why we only offer InSinkErator installations. It is because they are the best! In over 20 years of installing them, we have seen them consistently outperform other models.
The InSinkErator boasts:
- Dura-Drive™ Induction Motors, meaning more horsepower than comparable designs
- MultiGrind™ technology, which grinds up the waste faster and finer
- SoundSeal® technology, which ensures a quieter performance
What Size Garbage Disposal Do I Need?
Every home needs something a little different. Maybe you need something small to put in the tiny space under your sink. Or maybe you have a family member that works nights and you need something quiet. The size of disposal you choose can also depend on how many people you have in your home. There are garbage disposals that are ⅓ horsepower for small households all the way up to 2 horsepower models for homes with 8 or more people. At Steve’s Plumbing, we carry these three InSinkErator options.
Our three options are:
- Small – Evolution Compact is powerful for its size
- Medium – Evolution Essential (Most popular)
- Large – Evolution Excel produces 60% less noise
Evolution Excel
The Evolution Excel is the largest and most powerful of the three. It takes the science of food waste disposal to a new level as it can handle higher volume and more challenges while being much quieter than any other standard disposal.
Evolution Compact
The Evolution Compact may be the smallest of the three, though it is powerful for its size. This model is great for homes with limited cabinet space and it’s nice to know you don’t have to sacrifice power and performance when buying a compact model.
