Garbage Disposal Repair

Disposal repairs and new installs for kitchens in Bloomington, Normal and nearby McLean County towns.

Disposal Repair and Installation

Humming without spinning, water dripping from underneath, or no response at all when you flip the switch — a broken disposal is one of the kitchen problems we see most. We fix and install disposals for homes in Bloomington and around the area.

What Usually Goes Wrong

The fix depends on the cause: a jammed impeller, a tripped reset, or a motor that's burned out. Water under the unit most often comes from a failed seal, not a dead disposal. We figure out which it is before talking about a new one.

Disposal FAQ

Why does my disposal hum but not grind?

Something is jamming the impeller. That can often be freed up with no new parts at all.

What's the typical lifespan of a disposal?

With ordinary use, around 8 to 12 years. If yours is that old and leaking or jamming regularly, a replacement usually costs less over time than repeated repairs.

Can you put in a disposal while we're redoing the kitchen?

Sure. We install disposals as a standalone job or alongside other kitchen plumbing work.
