Can a jammed disposal be repaired, or does it need replacing?

Most jammed garbage disposals can be repaired by clearing the obstruction, resetting the unit, or fixing a wiring/outlet issue. Replacement is recommended if the motor has failed, the housing leaks, or the unit is damaged beyond repair. Our licensed plumbers can diagnose whether repair or replacement makes more sense on site in Petaluma and San Rafael. We provide upfront estimates and can install a new disposal if needed. Membership plans can reduce costs and provide priority scheduling.
