How Are Garbage Disposal Repair Services Performed?

Your garbage disposal has many working parts, making pinpointing the cause of your issue complex. First, we’ll inspect your garbage disposal until we determine the cause of your problem.

You could also have an electrical wiring issue. Once we’ve repaired or replaced the faulty part, we’ll test the unit to see if we corrected the problem. You can count on us to reinstall everything for a fully functional, efficient garbage disposal again in no time!

When you call us for installation, we’ll get your new garbage disposal set up in no time.
