Good To Know

Garbage disposal FAQs

My disposal just hums — what's wrong?
A hum with no spin usually means the disposal is jammed or the motor is stuck. Don't keep flipping the switch — it can burn out the motor. Watson's can free the jam or replace the unit safely. Call (212) 368-3434.
Can a leaking garbage disposal be repaired?
Sometimes. Leaks at the sink flange or hose connections can often be resealed, but a leak from the bottom of the unit usually means the housing has failed and the disposal should be replaced. We'll tell you honestly which one it is.
Do you install new garbage disposals?
Yes. Our licensed master plumbers remove the old unit and install a new disposal — yours or one we recommend — wired and sealed correctly across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
How do I keep my disposal from breaking again?
Avoid grease, fibrous scraps, bones and starchy foods, run cold water while it grinds, and don't overload it. Treat it gently and a good disposal lasts for years.
