What we find in these homes
- 1960s-era tract construction with largely original drain lines
- Water heaters and fixtures reaching end of service life together
- Slab-on-grade foundations in parts of the tract, which affects leak location
- Established landscaping near sewer laterals, a common root intrusion source
Signs worth calling about
- A humming sound with no grinding when switched on
- No response at all, even after pressing the reset button
- Water leaking from the base or the sink flange
- Persistent odor that returns after cleaning
Our process
Cut the power
Safety first — the unit is isolated before anyone reaches into it.
Clear the jam
Most hums are a lodged object that can be freed without replacing anything.
Test the motor
If the motor is genuinely dead, we tell you and quote a replacement.
Check the connections
Leaks are often at the flange or discharge tube, not the unit itself.

My disposal hums but won't spin — is it dead?

Roughly 8 to 12 years with normal use. Beyond that, replacement usually costs less than repeated repairs.
