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 Okatie 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 Okatie technicians are trained and insured for both.
Trucks staged across Okatie mean disposal calls aren't pushed behind bigger jobs.
Pricing is confirmed upfront whether it's a jam clearing or a full unit swap.
These are the garbage disposal issues we see most often across Okatie, SC.
A disposal that hums but won't spin usually has something lodged in the flywheel, cleared safely with the power disconnected first.
{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.}
When a unit is beyond repair, we install a properly sized replacement matched to your sink and usage needs.
Water pooling under the sink often traces to a worn seal or gasket in the disposal, repaired or the unit resealed.
A disposal that keeps tripping its reset button or the circuit breaker gets a full electrical diagnosis, not just a reset and hope.
Persistent odors from the disposal are addressed with a proper flush and inspection of the drain trap beyond the unit itself.
