Your disposal just hums. We'll get it grinding again.
A disposal that hums is usually jammed, not dead. One that leaks from the body is done. We diagnose which you have, and check the drain line while we're there since a disposal backup is often a clog downstream.

What kills disposals in Cerritos kitchens
- 01Grease and fibrous scrapsGrease coats the drain line, celery and onion skins wrap the impeller. Together they cause most backups.
- 02Hard itemsFruit pits, bones and small utensils jam the flywheel. Repeat jams wear the motor out early.
- 03Age and corrosionTen to twelve years is typical. After that the housing thins and eventually leaks from the bottom.
We diagnose first, then you choose
A jam clears in one visit and costs very little. A leaking housing can't be repaired. And if the real problem is the kitchen drain line, replacing the disposal won't fix anything — that's a drain call, and we'd rather tell you before you buy a unit.
Clear the jam or reset
Best for a humming or silent unit with a sound housing. Fast, cheapest, often same-visit.
Replace the unit
Best for a leaking or corroded housing, a failed motor, or an old undersized disposal.

We run water and the disposal together, confirm the line drains, and take the old unit away.
You'll see the number before we start
Disposal work is quoted in writing before anything is opened up. What moves the price:
- Clearing a jam versus installing a new unit.
- Horsepower and model if you're replacing.
- Condition of the mounting assembly and drain fittings underneath.
- Whether the kitchen drain line also needs clearing.
“Turned out the disposal was fine and the kitchen line was full of grease. They told me straight and cleared it instead of selling me a new unit.”
Questions we get on the phone
It's jammed. There's a reset button underneath and a hex slot on the bottom for freeing the flywheel, but if you're not sure, leave it — we clear jams quickly and check for damage while we're in there.
