Direct answer
Can my garbage disposal be repaired or does it need replacing?
If the disposal hums but does not spin, it is usually a jam that can be cleared. If it leaks from the bottom housing, the internal seal has failed and replacement is the better option. If it does not respond at all, the issue may be electrical. We diagnose before recommending, and if replacement is needed, we install the new unit with proper mounting, wiring and drain connections in a single visit.
Disposal humming but not spinning?
That usually means a jam, a failed motor or a seized flywheel. Call (940) 905-8032 and a plumber will diagnose it and either clear the jam or replace the unit, usually same day.
Not just a convenience
A garbage disposal protects your kitchen drain line
A working garbage disposal grinds food waste small enough to pass through the drain without accumulating. When the disposal fails, food scraps go into the drain whole, where they catch in the P-trap, on rough pipe walls and at transitions between pipe sizes. The result is a kitchen drain that clogs more often than it did before the disposal was installed.
That is why a jammed or leaking disposal is worth fixing promptly rather than leaving it for later. Every meal sends waste into a drain that is no longer equipped to handle it.
Brands we service
We work on every major disposal brand
We repair and install InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, GE and every other major garbage disposal brand. Each manufacturer uses slightly different mounting systems, electrical connections and reset mechanisms. We carry the common wear parts and can source model-specific components when a repair is more cost-effective than replacement.
If you are choosing a new unit, we can recommend a model based on your household size, usage pattern and whether you have a septic system, which affects which disposal models are appropriate.
How the job runs
Our garbage disposal service process
Whether it is a repair or a replacement, every disposal job follows the same sequence.
- 01
Diagnose the problem
We determine whether the disposal is jammed, leaking, electrically dead or worn out. Each has a different fix.
- 02
Clear or repair
Jams are cleared manually. Leaking flanges are resealed. Electrical faults are traced and fixed.
- 03
Replace if needed
If the unit is beyond repair, we remove it, clean the sink flange and install the new unit with correct mounting.
- 04
Wire and connect
Electrical connection is made to the existing switch or outlet, and the dishwasher drain is connected where applicable.
- 05
Test the drain path
The disposal is run with water and waste to confirm the grind chamber, discharge and downstream drain are clear.
- 06
Clean up
The area under the sink is cleaned and dried, and the work area is left as we found it.
Warning signs
Signs your disposal needs service
- Humming noise when switched on but the blades do not spin
- Leaking from the bottom of the unit
- Leaking from the top mounting flange when water runs
- Grinding noise that is louder or rougher than normal
- Water draining slowly from the disposal side of the sink
- Bad smell that persists even after running the disposal with ice and citrus
- Unit does not respond at all when switched on
Before we arrive
Quick things to check first
- Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit and try the switch again
- Check the circuit breaker or GFCI outlet that powers the disposal
- Do not put your hand inside the disposal for any reason
- If the disposal is leaking, place a bucket under the unit and turn off the switch
- Note the brand and model if you can see it on the unit label
Why us
Why homeowners call us for disposal work
Diagnose before recommending
A jammed disposal does not need replacing. A leaking flange does not need a new unit. We fix what is broken, not what is expensive.
Correct mounting matters
A disposal that is not mounted flush to the sink flange will leak under vibration. We use the manufacturer mounting system and set it properly.
Drain connection included
We connect the discharge to the drain line and the dishwasher hose where applicable, and confirm flow through the whole path.
We install your unit or ours
If you have already bought a disposal, we install it. If you want a recommendation, we suggest based on your usage, not the most expensive model.
Clean work area
Under-sink work is messy. We protect the cabinet floor and leave the area clean and dry when the job is done.

Disposal tips for Wichita Falls homes on septic
Most Wichita Falls homes inside city limits are on the municipal sewer system, and any garbage disposal model works fine. But homes outside the city in Iowa Park, Burkburnett, Archer City and the surrounding rural areas are often on septic systems, which changes the recommendation.
Standard disposals send ground food waste into the septic tank, increasing the solids load and requiring more frequent pumping. Septic-rated disposals use a finer grind and some inject enzymes to help break down the waste. If you are on septic, we recommend a septic-rated model and can advise on the impact to your pumping schedule.
Pricing
