A jammed disposal usually takes the kitchen drain with it, so what starts as a noise ends up as a sink full of standing water.

How garbage disposal repair works, step by step

  1. Clear the jam and test the motor

    A humming unit is usually jammed rather than dead. That's a five minute distinction worth making before selling a new one.

  2. Check for leaks at every seal

    Sink flange, mounting ring, discharge elbow and dishwasher inlet each leak differently.

  3. Repair or replace

    If the motor is gone or the housing is leaking, replacement is the honest answer.

  4. Clear the drain line too

    Disposal problems and clogged kitchen drains usually arrive together.

What customers say

The toilet had been running for months and I'd been ignoring it. Twenty minutes, one flapper and a fill valve. I should have called a year ago.

Anthony D., Traverse City, MIToilet repair

Called at 11pm with water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Someone picked up, talked me through the shutoff, and had a plumber at the house before midnight. The price he quoted was the price I paid.

Danielle R., Traverse City, MIWater leak repair

Disposal was humming and the sink was full. He cleared the jam, then found the real problem was further down the kitchen line and cleared that too. One visit.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Traverse City: common questions

My disposal hums but doesn't spin.

That's almost always a jam rather than a failed motor. Cut the power at the switch before anything else — never reach into the chamber with the circuit live.

What shouldn't go down a garbage disposal?

Grease, coffee grounds, fibrous vegetable peels, pasta and rice. Grease is the worst of them because it coats the whole line downstream and causes clogs well past the kitchen.

How fast can a plumber get to me in Traverse City?

For emergencies in Traverse City we dispatch on the same call and give you a real arrival window rather than an all-day block. Scheduled work is normally booked same day or next day.

Do you work on both residential and commercial properties?

We do. Residential work covers houses, condos and rentals across Traverse City. Commercial work covers restaurants, offices, retail and multi-unit properties, generally scheduled after hours so business isn't interrupted.

Do you charge extra for nights and weekends?

After-hours rates are stated on the phone before we dispatch, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. You always know the number in advance.

Do you offer 24 hour emergency plumbing in Traverse City?

Yes. Our Traverse City line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. Emergency calls such as burst pipes, sewage backups and active leaks are prioritized ahead of scheduled work.
