Kitchen Sink Drainage Optimization

A failing disposal often masks a bigger drain issue. On every service call we inspect the P-trap, dishwasher air-gap connection, and outbound drain slope. If the underlying drain has a slow-flow problem, we call it out before the new disposal has to work harder than it should.

  • P-trap slope and clearance check
  • Dishwasher air-gap connection service
  • Outbound drain flow test
  • Splash guard and mounting collar replacement

Garbage Disposal Repair Questions Answered

Quick answers to what Des Moines homeowners ask most.

Why does my garbage disposal make a humming sound but refuse to spin?
A humming sound means the disposal motor is receiving electricity but the internal flywheel is jammed by an object like a bone, a coin, or fibrous vegetable waste. Turn off the power switch, insert an Allen wrench into the hole at the bottom of the unit, and turn it back and forth to clear the jam manually.
What causes water to leak from the very bottom of a garbage disposal unit?
When water leaks directly from the bottom holes of the metal shell, the internal motor seals have degraded and failed. This means the disposal has reached the end of its service life and requires a complete disposal replacement, as the motor housing is no longer water-tight.
Why is water backing up into my kitchen sink when I run the disposal?
Water backups indicate a blockage down the drain pipe assembly, not necessarily a broken disposal. Food waste can lodge inside the P-trap or the exit plumbing line under the sink. Removing the P-trap and clearing the sludge restores proper kitchen drainage.
Why won't my garbage disposal turn on or make any sound at all?
If the unit is completely dead, an electrical overload has caused the internal circuit breaker to trip. Check under the disposal, press the small red reset button, and verify the kitchen wall switch or GFCI outlet hasn't tripped before checking the home breaker panel.
