A jammed, leaking, or dead garbage disposal is one of the most common kitchen plumbing calls we get. Most are fixable in under an hour — and when they're not, we have replacements on the truck.
Garbage Disposal Service in Tualatin
Tualatin homeowners frequently call us for garbage disposal jams from fibrous materials — artichoke leaves, celery, and potato peels are the top offenders.
Jammed Disposal
Humming but not spinning — something's caught in the grinding plate. We clear jams without damaging the unit in most cases.
Leaking Disposal
Leaks at the sink flange, side discharge, or bottom of the unit — each has a different repair. We diagnose and fix the source.
Dead Disposal
No sound, no hum — could be a tripped reset button, a bad switch, or a failed motor. We diagnose before recommending replacement.
Disposal Replacement
InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King — we install all major brands. If yours is beyond repair, we carry replacements on the truck.
What NOT to Put Down a Disposal
- Fibrous vegetables — celery, artichoke, asparagus, corn husks
- Potato peels — starch turns to paste and coats the drain
- Grease, oil, or butter — coats the line and causes downstream clogs
- Coffee grounds — accumulate in the drain over time
- Bones and fruit pits — damage the grinding plate
- Egg shells — the membrane wraps around the grinding ring

Can you fix a garbage disposal same day in Tualatin?
In most cases, yes. We carry common disposal sizes on the truck. If yours needs replacement, we can usually do it the same day without a parts run.
How long should a garbage disposal last?
Most disposals last 8–15 years depending on use and maintenance. If yours is over 10 years old and having repeated issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repair.
