How long does a typical garbage disposal last?

Lifespan varies by model, usage, and maintenance. There isn’t one fixed number. If yours frequently jams, leaks, smells after cleaning, makes grinding or metal noises, trips the breaker, or won’t turn on, it’s likely time to repair or replace. We can inspect, recommend repair vs. replacement, and give an upfront estimate. Membership plans help with maintenance and priority service. We serve homes in Petaluma, San Rafael, and nearby.
