Why isn't my garbage disposal working?
A garbage disposal is one of the most convenient appliances in a modern kitchen—until it stops working. A sudden jam, a loud humming noise, or a leak under your sink can bring your entire kitchen routine to a halt. At Principle Plumbing, we we bring years of experience's trusted experts for fast garbage disposal repair and professional installation.
My garbage disposal is just humming. What should I do? The humming means the motor is getting power but is jammed. First, make sure the unit is off. You can try pressing the red or black reset button on the bottom of the unit. If that doesn't work, do not put your hand in the drain. Our Principle Plumbing technicians have specialized tools to safely free the impellers and get your unit running again without risking injury.
How do I keep my garbage disposal clean and fresh? Regularly grind up a few ice cubes to clean the impellers, and follow with some citrus peels (lemon, orange) to freshen the drain. This simple maintenance helps prevent odors and keeps your disposal running smoothly. If you notice persistent odors or reduced performance, Principle Plumbing can inspect and service your unit.
What should I avoid putting down my garbage disposal? Avoid fibrous materials (celery stalks, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta), coffee grounds, grease, and bones. Always run a strong flow of cold water when using your disposal. Cold water helps keep grease and fats solid so they can be chopped up and washed away, preventing clogs in your drain lines.
How much does it cost to install a new garbage disposal? The cost for a professional garbage disposal installation in the we bring years of experience area depends on the model you choose and the condition of your existing plumbing and electrical setup. We provide clear, flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
Which garbage disposal should I choose for my home? For everyday use (1-3 people), the InSinkErator Badger 5 (1/2 HP) is a durable workhorse. For a busy family kitchen (4+ people), we recommend the InSinkEator Evolution Compact (3/4 HP) with a more powerful motor and advanced sound-deadening technology for much quieter operation. We help you select the perfect fit for your needs.

At Principle Plumbing, we have the specialized tools and expertise to safely repair your disposal and get your kitchen back to normal.

- Won't Turn On: This could be a simple electrical issue, like needing to press the reset button, or it could indicate a more serious motor failure.
- Excessively Loud or Vibrating: This may be a foreign object in the grind chamber or a sign of worn-out internal components.
Trust Principle Plumbing for safe, professional repairs that get your disposal working properly again.
