Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation Services – Handyman Services Memphis Fast, Reliable, and Built for Homeowners Who Want It Done Right
⭐ Why Garbage Disposal Problems Shouldn’t Wait
A garbage disposal may seem small, but when it stops working, it can cause bigger issues. You might notice:
Water backing up into the sink
Bad smells coming from the drain
Loud grinding noises
Leaks under the sink
Slow draining water
The disposal turning on but not spinning
The unit tripping the breaker
Food waste sitting in the chamber
These problems can lead to clogs, water damage, or even electrical issues if ignored. Getting help early saves time, money, and frustration.
⚙️ Our Garbage Disposal Services
1. Garbage Disposal Repair
Most disposal problems can be fixed quickly. We start by checking the unit, the wiring, the drain, and the seals. Once we find the issue, we explain it in simple terms and let you know the best way to fix it.
Common Repairs Include:
Clearing jams
Fixing humming or stuck blades
Repairing leaks
Removing clogs
Replacing worn parts
Fixing electrical problems
Resetting overheated motors
We work with all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, Whirlpool, and others. Our goal is to get your disposal running smoothly again without any stress.
2. Garbage Disposal Installation
If your disposal is old, damaged, or not strong enough for your household, installing a new one may be the best choice. A new disposal runs quieter, lasts longer, and handles food waste more easily.
We Install All Sizes:
⅓ HP – Good for light use
½ HP – Great for most homes
¾ HP – Stronger and quieter
1 HP – Best for large families or heavy use
We remove your old unit, install the new one, connect everything properly, and test it to make sure it works perfectly. You can provide your own disposal or choose one based on our recommendations.
3. Garbage Disposal Replacement
If your disposal is more than 8–12 years old, replacing it is often smarter than repairing it. Older units tend to leak, jam, and struggle with everyday use.
We Help You Choose a New Unit Based On:
How quiet you want it to be
How powerful it needs to be
How often your family cooks
Your budget
Warranty options
Stainless steel vs. standard parts
We make sure your new disposal is installed correctly and ready for long‑term use.
4. Drain Clearing & Unclogging
Sometimes the disposal isn’t the problem—the drain is. If water is backing up or draining slowly, you may have a clog deeper in the line.
We safely clear the drain without harsh chemicals, protecting your pipes and disposal. This service is especially helpful if:
Your sink fills with water when the disposal runs
Your dishwasher drains into the sink
Odors won’t go away
The disposal works but the water doesn’t drain
Once the clog is gone, your sink and disposal will work normally again.
