A: If your disposal does nothing when you flip the switch, the most common causes are a tripped reset button (the red button on the bottom of the unit), a tripped breaker, a stuck impeller, or a burnt-out motor. For Citrus Park homeowners, start by pressing the reset button. If it hums without spinning, something is jammed and the motor will burn out if you keep trying. We will diagnose and fix or replace on the spot, usually $279 to $450.

A: If your disposal is less than 5 years old and the jam is mechanical, repair usually makes sense. If it is 8+ years old, leaking from the bottom, or the motor is burned out, replacement is the better call.

A: We install InSinkErator (Badger and Evolution series), Waste King, Moen, and KitchenAid. For most Citrus Park homes, we recommend InSinkErator 3/4 HP for the best balance of power and noise. Premium jobs call for the 1 HP Evolution Excel which has sound insulation (noticeably quieter in concrete block single-story homes). We help you pick based on household size and what actually goes down the drain.

A: Bad smells usually mean food debris is trapped in the splash guard or grinding chamber. Try running ice cubes with citrus peels and cold water for 30 seconds. standard water in Citrus Park also leaves mineral film that holds odors. If the smell persists, the splash guard may need replacement (about $30 part, included in our $279 service call). A professional cleaning can reach buildup deeper in the unit.

A: Hillsborough County Utilities serves Citrus Park at 6 to 8 grains of hardness, the middle of the medium range. That mineral load scales the grind chamber and dulls the impeller lugs over 8 to 12 years. Upgrading to a stainless steel grind chamber on a 1 HP Evolution Excel adds about $120 in parts but adds 3 to 4 years of usable service life. For homes that have been on Citrus Park city water since the 1980s, the stainless upgrade is the smart call.

A: Roughly one in three Citrus Park homes from the 1980 to 1995 build window still has original polybutylene supply lines, often hidden until we open up the under-sink area for a disposal swap. We carry PEX-B and brass transition fittings on every truck and can do the cold-water riser transition on the same visit (adds about 30 minutes). PB lines fail unpredictably, so transitioning when we are already under the sink is the right call.
