Your garbage disposal works harder than you think, and it will not last forever
Peninsula kitchens put disposals through their paces
Between daily cooking, holiday meals, and the general pace of life on the Peninsula, garbage disposals get heavy use. Over time, blades dull, motors weaken, seals fail, and food waste that should not have gone down the drain (looking at you, artichoke leaves) causes jams and clogs. When your disposal starts making unusual noises, draining slowly, or leaking from the bottom, it is time to call a professional.
We repair, replace, and install all major brands
We repair, replace, and install garbage disposals for homes with existing units or brand-new setups. We also handle the related drain connections needed to keep your kitchen plumbing working properly.
A new disposal can be installed in about an hour
If your disposal needs replacing, the job is straightforward. We disconnect the old unit, install the new one, reconnect the drain and dishwasher line, and test everything. Most replacements are done in about an hour.
What to expect before, during, and after a garbage disposal service
Before
Our technician assesses the disposal to determine whether a repair or replacement is the best option. We explain the issue and provide upfront pricing.
During
For repairs, we clear jams, replace worn components, or fix connections. For replacements, we remove the old unit, install the new disposal, and reconnect all plumbing.
After
We test the disposal and run water through the system to confirm everything is draining properly. We also share a few tips on what to avoid putting down the disposal to keep it running well.
6 Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Service
It Hums but Does Not Spin
A humming motor that will not engage usually means the impeller is stuck or the motor is failing.
Frequent Jams
Occasional jams are normal, but if you are reaching for the reset button or an Allen wrench every week, the disposal is wearing out.
Leaking From the Bottom
A leak at the base of the unit typically means the internal seals have failed and replacement is the best option.
Persistent Bad Odor
If cleaning and flushing do not eliminate the smell, food buildup in the grinding chamber may be too far gone for a simple cleaning.
Slow Draining
A disposal that grinds but drains slowly may have a blockage in the drain line or dull blades that are not breaking food down properly.
It Is Over 8 Years Old
Most disposals last 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range and showing any of the above signs, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair.
Why Peninsula Homeowners Choose Caccia for Garbage Disposal Service
Fast, Same-Day Service
Disposal issues usually cannot wait. We offer prompt scheduling and can often complete the repair or replacement the same day you call.
Honest Repair vs. Replace Advice
If a $20 fix will solve the problem, we will do that instead of selling you a new unit. You get honest recommendations every time.
Clean, Professional Work
We work carefully around your kitchen sink and countertops, and leave the area clean when we are done.
