We troubleshoot units that hum, leak, or will not turn on, clear jams safely, and replace disposals that have reached the end of the road. New installs are wired and sealed correctly, then tested so there are no leaks under the sink. No-upsell service is what Hot Springs families have counted on from David Bowen since 1985.
What’s included
- Clears jams and fixes humming or dead units
- Repairs leaks at the disposal and connections
- Installs quiet, higher-horsepower replacements
- Correct wiring, mounting, and leak testing
- No-upsell advice on repair versus replacement
Frequently asked questions
My disposal just hums and will not spin. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. A humming disposal that does not turn typically has something jammed against the impellers. Often it can be freed and reset without a replacement. If the motor is burned out from running jammed, replacement is the better call. We can tell quickly which situation you have and get your sink working again.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking?
Leaks come from a few spots: the sink flange up top, the dishwasher or drain connections, or a cracked body from age. Where the water shows up tells us the cause. Seals and connections are often repairable, but a leak from the body itself means the unit is done and should be replaced.
What can I safely put down a garbage disposal?
Stick to soft food scraps and run cold water while it grinds. Avoid grease, fibrous items like celery and corn husks, coffee grounds, bones, and starchy foods like potato peels, which cause jams and clogs. Treating it gently keeps your disposal and drain line in good shape and cuts down on repair calls.
