Tustin homeowners from Old Town to Tustin Ranch know how convenient a working garbage disposal is — and how frustrating it is when one jams, leaks, or stops working entirely.

Older Tustin homes sometimes have disposals that have been in service for decades, while newer kitchens at Columbus Tustin and Tustin Legacy feature more powerful, quieter models. We work on all of them and can advise on whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific unit.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix
- Disposal makes a grinding metal sound — Foreign object like a utensil or bone fragment caught in the chamber
- Reset button keeps tripping — Motor overheating from a hard jam, worn motor, or electrical issue

- Disposal drains slowly — Discharge pipe partially clogged or grind chamber not breaking down food effectively
- Wall switch does nothing — Faulty switch, disconnected wiring, or tripped circuit breaker
Frequently Asked Questions
My disposal hums but doesn’t spin. Can I fix it myself? You can try pressing the reset button on the bottom of the unit and using an Allen wrench in the bottom socket to manually free the flywheel. If that doesn’t work, call us.
How long do garbage disposals last? Most last 8-15 years depending on usage and maintenance. If your disposal is older and having frequent problems, replacement is often the practical choice.
Can you install a more powerful disposal than my current one? Yes, as long as the plumbing and electrical connections support it. Upgrading from a 1/3 HP to a 3/4 HP unit is a common request.
