A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life. Our Berkeley technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
If a disposal is old and the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we'll tell you honestly instead of patching it.
Disposal work involves both plumbing and electrical connections — our Berkeley technicians are trained and insured for both.
A non-functioning disposal gets prompt scheduling since it affects daily kitchen use.
Pricing is confirmed upfront whether it's a jam clearing or a full unit swap.
From a simple jammed flywheel to a full unit replacement, we diagnose before recommending the fix.
We clear the jam and test the unit through a full cycle before considering the job done.
{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
New disposal installation includes checking the electrical connection and drain alignment, not just swapping the unit.
Water pooling under the sink often traces to a worn seal or gasket in the disposal, repaired or the unit resealed.
We check the wiring and connection, not just the reset button, to find the actual cause of repeated tripping.
We check whether the odor is actually the disposal or a trap issue further down the line.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — humming, tripping, leaking, or completely dead — to help route the right service.
Trucks stocked with common replacement units mean same-visit resolution in most cases.
The disposal is diagnosed, and you'll get an honest repair-versus-replace recommendation with a flat price.
The repair or new unit is installed and tested through a full cycle, backed by a written warranty.
"Unit was over 12 years old and they told me honestly replacement made more sense than repair." — Homeowner, Berkeley
"Kept tripping the breaker and they found a wiring issue, not just the disposal itself." — Berkeley resident
"Appreciated the honest repair-or-replace conversation instead of an automatic upsell." — Berkeley customer
Our disposal repair technicians cover Berkeley and the surrounding Berkeley, CA area, with same-day availability for non-functioning units.
Almost always something jammed in the flywheel — often a stray utensil or bone fragment — clearable in most cases.
Units past 8-10 years with a significant failure often make more sense to replace — we'll give you honest numbers on both.
It depends on the issue — a jam clearing costs far less than a full replacement. We quote upfront before starting.
Repeated tripping deserves a real electrical check, not just resetting it and hoping it stops.
Not always — sometimes it's just a worn seal or gasket that can be repaired without replacing the whole unit.
Yes, we install customer-supplied disposals as long as they're properly sized for your sink and usage.
