Common Problems in Haymarket Homes

Garbage disposal is jammed

A hard object — bone fragment, fruit pit, broken glass — lodged between the impeller plate and shredder ring. We clear the jam and check for damage to the grinding components.

Garbage disposal hums but won't grind

The motor is getting power but the flywheel is stuck. This is different from a simple jam — sometimes the motor capacitor has failed or the bearings are seized. Forcing it risks burning out the motor.

Garbage disposal is leaking

Leaks from the sink flange, the dishwasher inlet, or the discharge pipe connection. In Haymarket homes with granite countertops and undermount sinks, the flange connection is especially important to get right to avoid water damage.

Disposal makes a loud grinding or rattling noise

Loose mounting screws, a cracked impeller, or a foreign object bouncing around inside. Ignoring the noise usually leads to a complete failure within weeks.

Garbage disposal won't turn on at all

Check the reset button on the bottom of the unit first — that solves about 30% of the calls we get. If the reset doesn't work, it's usually a failed switch, tripped breaker, or a burned-out motor that needs replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Garbage disposal repair costs depend on the issue. Simple jam clearing and reset is on the low end. If the motor is burned out, full replacement with a quality 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP unit costs more but is still very affordable. We provide an upfront quote after diagnosis.
If your disposal is over 8 years old and the motor has failed, replacement is usually the better investment. We can install a quality 1/2 HP InSinkErator or Waste King and give you the full price upfront. For jams and leaks, repair is almost always the right call.
A foul smell usually means food buildup in the grinding chamber or the drain line. We can clean it out, but for ongoing maintenance, running ice cubes and citrus peels through the disposal weekly helps prevent buildup. If the smell is coming from a cracked housing, replacement is the answer.
Absolutely. Many Haymarket homes — especially in Piedmont and Catharpin Farms — came with underpowered 1/3 HP disposals that jam constantly. We can upgrade you to a 3/4 HP model for much better performance and fewer problems.
Most repairs take 30-60 minutes. A full replacement takes about an hour. We carry common disposal models on our truck so we can often handle a same-day replacement without a second visit.
