Repair or Replace? We'll Tell You Straight

Disposals are one of the few appliances where replacement is sometimes the smarter call — a worn-out budget unit often costs more to rebuild than to swap. Our technician will quote you both options upfront. We install and service InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, and KitchenAid disposals, including quiet-series and septic-safe models, and we haul away the old unit.

We cover every San Francisco neighborhood — Glen Park, the Excelsior, Noe Valley, the Sunset, the Richmond — plus all of San Mateo County (San Mateo, Burlingame, Redwood City) and Marin County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually it’s jammed, not broken. Something is blocking the flywheel and the motor can’t turn. Don’t keep running it – that burns out the motor. We can usually clear the jam and check the unit in one quick visit.
Yes, once – it’s on the bottom of the unit. If the disposal works afterward and keeps working, you’re fine. If it trips again or stays dead, there’s an underlying electrical or motor problem worth a professional look.
If the motor is fine and the issue is a jam, seal, or connection, repair is quick and economical. If the motor is burned out or the housing is cracked on an older budget unit, replacement usually wins. We quote both options before doing anything.
Yes, in most cases. Our trucks carry popular InSinkErator and Waste King models, so same-day replacement across San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo County is the norm rather than the exception.
