Overview
A broken disposal stops the kitchen
Disposals keep drains clear by grinding waste before it goes down the pipe — until a straw, a dishcloth or too much food jams the blades. In a restaurant, school, hotel or nursing home, that means kitchen downtime.
KBD handles garbage disposal repair for most brands and sizes of residential and commercial units, and replaces units that can’t be saved, with proper connections to the drain and power supply.
What we handle
Garbage disposal repair and replacement we handle
Leaks
Worn seals and loose connections that let water and waste escape.
Jams
Blades stopped by hard-to-grind food and objects.
Humming motors
A hum with no grinding usually means a jammed or burned-out motor.
Won’t drain
Water sitting in the sink because the unit or the drain is blocked.
Dead units
Disposals that don’t turn on at all.
Replacement
A new unit recommended to suit your kitchen and budget, then installed.
Never reach into a disposal
Even when it’s switched off, don’t put your hand inside. Turn off the power at the switch or breaker and call us.

Questions
Garbage disposals: common questions
Still not sure? Phone us — asking costs nothing.
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not grinding?
The blades are usually jammed, or the motor has burned out. Switch it off — running a jammed motor can burn it out completely.
Should I repair or replace my disposal?
Leaking seals and jams are usually repairable. A burned-out motor or a cracked housing normally means replacement.
Do you service commercial kitchens?
Yes — restaurants, schools, hotels, apartment buildings and other commercial kitchens.
