Garbage Disposal Not Spinning, Jammed, or Leaking? We’ll Replace It Right in Frisco & Plano

Garbage Disposal Broken Again? We Install Long-Lasting Units with Warranty
Garbage disposals are one of those things every modern kitchen needs, but not all of them are built the same. Builders often install the cheapest units on the market – 1/2 horsepower models with only a 1-year warranty. And guess what? Many of them fail right after that warranty ends.
We’ve seen it over and over, clients calling us every 12–18 months to replace a cheap unit that never worked right to begin with. And by the time they’ve paid for labor and new units 2 or 3 times, they’ve spent more than the cost of a good disposal.
That’s why we recommend investing once in a quality model 3/4 or 1 horsepower, with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. One install. One payment. No stress.
Garbage Disposal Leaking, Jammed, Making Noise, or Not Turning On?
Here’s what we repair every week:
- Garbage disposal leaking from the bottom
- Unit hums but doesn’t spin
- Blades jammed by food, metal, or bone
- Loud grinding or unusual noise during use
- Water backing up into the sink or dishwasher
- Broken reset button or bad power supply
- Electrical issues or faulty switch
If your garbage disposal is buzzing, leaking, making noise, or just dead, give us a call. We’ll tell you if it’s worth fixing or if a full replacement makes more sense.
Garbage Disposal Connected to Dishwasher? You Might Need an Air Gap
Many homes connect the dishwasher directly to the garbage disposal. That’s fine if it’s installed properly. We’ve had dozens of clients ask us why dirty sink water flows back into the dishwasher.
Answer: no air gap or high loop.
Without a proper air gap (or at least a high loop), wastewater can backflow into your dishwasher. Not only is that gross it’s a health hazard.
We check every connection and make sure your setup is code-compliant, clean, and safe.
What Size Garbage Disposal Do You Really Need?
Disposals come in different horsepower levels:
- 1/2 HP – Entry level. Often noisy, clogs easily, wears out fast.
- 3/4 HP – Solid for most homes. Better grinding power, less vibration.
- 1 HP – Quiet, powerful, and built to last. Recommended if you cook a lot or want fewer clogs.
We’ll help you choose the right size and model, not based on what’s in stock, but what actually fits your needs.
Garbage Disposal Clogs Can Damage Your Drain Line
A weak or failing disposal doesn’t grind food properly. Instead, it lets chunks of food and grease go down the drain. Over time, this builds up and can clog your drain line, causing slow drainage, bad smells, and backups.
Sometimes we’re called for a “garbage disposal issue” and end up snaking a full kitchen drain. The right disposal helps prevent those clogs in the first place.

Garbage Disposal Questions We Hear All the Time
What foods should I never put in the garbage disposal?
Don’t put grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, fibrous veggies like celery, or pasta and rice. These clog or jam the disposal over time.
Why does my garbage disposal make a humming noise but not spin?
That usually means the motor is jammed. Turn off the power and call us — forcing it might burn out the unit or cause injury.
Should I replace or repair my garbage disposal?
If it’s older than 6-8 years, leaks, or keeps jamming, replacement is usually the better long-term solution. We’ll help you decide.
