Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix
A garbage disposal can stop working properly for several reasons. Some problems are isolated to the disposal itself, while others involve the drain or plumbing connections beneath the sink. Call us if you’re dealing with:
- A disposal that hums but doesn't grind
- A unit that won't turn on
- Frequent jams or repeated problems
- Slow draining or standing water
- Water leaking beneath the sink
- Persistent odors
- Unusual grinding, rattling, or vibration
- A disposal that has stopped working completely
Garbage Disposal Repair or Replacement?
A malfunctioning garbage disposal doesn’t always need to be replaced.
If the problem is caused by a correctable jam, loose connection, or another repairable issue, fixing the existing disposal may be the practical option. The condition of the unit and the source of the problem both matter.
Replacement may make more sense if the disposal has failed, is damaged, leaks from the unit itself, or continues to have problems after previous repairs.
Our plumber in Mesa will inspect the disposal and explain what we find so you can decide whether repair or replacement is the better option for your kitchen.
Is Your Garbage Disposal Leaking?
Water under the kitchen sink doesn’t always mean the disposal itself has failed. The leak may be coming from the connection at the sink, the disposal’s plumbing connections, the dishwasher connection, nearby drain piping, or the disposal unit.
Finding the actual source is important because each problem requires a different fix.
We inspect the disposal and surrounding connections to determine where the water is coming from. Addressing the leak early can also help reduce the chance of moisture damaging the cabinet or materials beneath your sink.
Garbage Disposal Replacement & Installation
If your existing disposal is no longer worth repairing, P&L Plumbing can replace it and get your kitchen sink back in working order.
We can install an appropriate replacement based on the existing sink and plumbing setup. If you already purchased a garbage disposal, contact us to discuss installation of your customer-supplied unit.
During replacement, we’ll make sure the disposal is properly fitted to the sink and connected to the applicable drain plumbing. Once the work is complete, we’ll test the setup for proper operation and check for leaks.
We can also help with garbage disposal installation when adding a disposal to a compatible kitchen sink setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my garbage disposal hums but doesn't spin?
Turn the disposal off rather than repeatedly trying to run it. Humming can indicate that the disposal is jammed or unable to rotate properly. We can inspect the unit, identify what’s preventing it from working, and determine whether it can be repaired.
Why won't my garbage disposal turn on?
A disposal can stop working for several reasons, including a jam, an issue with the unit, or a power-related problem. We can inspect the disposal and determine whether the problem is within the plumbing service we can repair or if another type of service is needed.
Can you replace my garbage disposal if it can't be repaired?
Yes. If the disposal has failed or replacement is the better option, we can remove the existing unit and install an appropriate replacement for the sink and plumbing setup.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
It depends on what’s wrong with the disposal, its overall condition, and whether the problem can be corrected reliably. We’ll inspect the unit and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense based on what we find.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking?
A leak may come from the sink connection, drain connections, dishwasher connection, nearby plumbing, or the disposal itself. We can locate the source of the water and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Why does my garbage disposal smell bad?
Food residue and buildup can cause odors inside a disposal, while persistent smells may also be associated with a drainage issue. If routine cleaning doesn’t solve the problem, we can inspect the disposal and connected plumbing for an underlying issue.
Can you install a garbage disposal I already purchased?
We can install customer-supplied garbage disposals when the unit is appropriate for the existing sink and plumbing setup. Contact us with information about your disposal if you’re unsure whether it will work with your kitchen.
