Frequently Asked Questions
Garbage Disposal Repair questions from Utah homeowners — answered straight.
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
A humming disposal means the motor is getting power but the flywheel is stuck — usually from a bone, utensil, or hardened food jammed between the impellers and the shred ring. Turn it off immediately to avoid burning out the motor. We can usually clear the jam and have it running again the same visit.
How much does it cost to replace a garbage disposal?
A standard garbage disposal replacement in Utah County runs $250 to $550 including parts and labor, depending on the unit you choose. Higher-end models with better insulation run quieter and grind more efficiently. We can recommend the right size for your household.
How long does a garbage disposal last?
Most disposals last 8 to 12 years with normal use. If yours is leaking from the bottom, frequently jamming, or no longer grinding effectively, it is usually more cost-effective to replace it than to keep repairing it.
Can I install a garbage disposal if I do not have one?
Yes — we can add a garbage disposal to most kitchen sinks. It requires an electrical connection and modifications to the drain plumbing under the sink. If your sink does not have a switched outlet, we can install one or wire a new switch. The whole job typically takes a couple of hours.
What should I never put in a garbage disposal?
Avoid grease and cooking oil (they solidify and clog), fibrous vegetables like celery and corn husks (they wrap around the blades), bones larger than chicken wing size, pasta and rice (they expand), coffee grounds (they accumulate), and non-food items. Running cold water while the disposal operates helps flush waste through.
