A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life. Our Rains technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
If a disposal is old and the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we'll tell you honestly instead of patching it.
Every technician on a disposal call carries valid licensing and liability coverage.
