Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement
When your garbage disposal starts acting up, it can throw off your whole kitchen routine. Strange noises, foul smells, leaks, or a unit that won’t even turn on—these problems are more than just annoying, they make cooking and cleaning frustrating. That’s when you need a plumber you trust to quickly repair the issue or replace the disposal if it’s beyond saving.
At Aaron Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we handle both garbage disposal repair and replacement every day. Our goal is to solve the problem the right way, so your kitchen stays clean, functional, and worry-free.

Garbage Disposal Repair
Not every disposal problem means you need a new unit. Many issues can be repaired, saving you the cost of replacement:
- Clearing jams from food or foreign objects
- Fixing electrical connections or reset switch problems
- Repairing leaks around the unit or drain connections
- Restoring performance when the disposal grinds slowly or makes unusual noises
Our plumbers start by diagnosing the issue. If a safe, cost-effective repair is possible, we’ll fix it on the spot. If the unit is too far gone, we’ll explain why replacement makes more sense—and can often handle that immediately since we carry new disposals on our trucks.
Garbage Disposal Replacement
When repairs aren’t enough, replacement is often the smarter choice. Older units that clog frequently, leak, or struggle to grind food can waste water and energy. We recommend replacement if your disposal:
- Is over 8–10 years old
- Breaks down repeatedly despite repairs
- Has cracks or leaks in the casing
- Can’t keep up with your household’s needs
Our team will recommend a disposal that fits your home and install it properly. We carry the reputable brand Insinkerator garbage disposals on our trucks so that most replacements can be done same-day. If there’s a specialized model or brand of garbage disposal you’d prefer, we’re happy to install that too.
Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
What are the common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Strange noises, foul smells, leaks, frequent clogs, or a unit that won’t turn on at all are all red flags.
Can I attempt to fix my garbage disposal myself?
It’s tempting, but disposals can be tricky—and even dangerous—if you’re not sure what you’re doing. We don’t recommend sticking your hand inside or taking the unit apart. Remember, these are electrified home appliances, so be sure to shut the power off to the area before attempting any do it yourself fix.
How do I unclog my garbage disposal?
You may be able to unclog your garbage disposal yourself. First, turn off the power. With the power off, check to see if any large obstructions, like a spoon or small glass, is blocking the blades. Some disposals come with a small wrench you can use to free the blades. If it stays stuck, call us—we’ll clear it safely.
Why does my garbage disposal smell bad?
Usually from food particles stuck in the unit. Grinding a few ice cubes or lemon peels can help. If the smell lingers, it may point to buildup that needs professional cleaning.
Is it better to repair or replace a malfunctioning garbage disposal?
If it’s a newer unit with a simple jam or clog, repair often makes sense. But if it’s old, leaking, or breaking down regularly, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We’ll give you honest advice on what’s best.
