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 Seminole 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.

Premium jobs call for the 1 HP Evolution Excel which has sound insulation (noticeably quieter in concrete block ranch-style homes). We help you pick based on household size and what actually goes down the drain.

Try running ice cubes with citrus peels and cold water for 30 seconds. standard water in Seminole 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.

East-side Seminole inland addresses see minimal salt exposure and standard Badger or Evolution Compact units work fine.
