What should never go down a garbage disposal?
Grease, fibrous peels like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, eggshells in volume, and starchy expanders like rice and pasta. All of them either dull the impellers or paste up the drain line downstream.
Repair or replace a jammed disposal?
A humming disposal is often a simple jam cleared with the hex key port underneath. A silent unit with a tripped reset that will not hold, or a leaking body, means replacement, typically $250-$600 installed.

Hum, jam, or leak: what is your disposal telling you?
A hum with no spin is a jammed flywheel, never reach in; the hex-key socket underneath frees most jams. No sound at all is electrical: reset button first, then the switch circuit. Water below means one of three seals, sink flange (repairable), hose connections (repairable), or the unit body (replacement, the motor housing has corroded through).
What size disposal should you install?
1/2 HP suits light use; 3/4 HP is the family sweet spot for grind power and jam resistance; 1 HP earns its cost in heavy-cooking households. Quality units run quieter and last 8–12 years against 3–5 for builder-grade, per industry-typical lifespans. We match the new unit to your sink flange and dishwasher connection in one visit.
What should never go down a disposal?
Grease, fibrous peels, coffee grounds, eggshells in volume, and pasta, most “disposal problems” we clear are actually drain problems these habits caused downstream. Disposal work is part of plumbing repair, and pairs naturally with faucet calls: 801-874-8479.
