“We had a small leak, called Joel and he came out to fix it in no time. Really appreciate how attentive and thorough he was to diagnose the issue by starting out small with a camera to find the leak instead of doing the easiest thing by cutting the drywall right away.”

“Jose was outstanding. He came in and fixed what we had been told by another plumber was an unsolvable problem with our faucet and that our entire faucet would need to be replaced. Instead Jose expertly repaired it, checked the other faucets and installed a new mechanism in our toilet.”

Common Garbage Disposal Repair Scenarios
Jammed Disposal
Foreign objects, fibrous foods, or grease can jam the grinding mechanism. Never put your hand in — use the hex wrench port on the bottom.
Leaking Disposal
Leaks from the top (sink flange), side (dishwasher connection), or bottom (internal seal failure). Bottom leaks usually mean replacement.
Disposal Won't Turn On
Check the reset button and circuit breaker first. If those work, the motor or internal switch may have failed.
Disposal Replacement
Disposals last 8-15 years. When repair costs approach replacement cost ($150-$400 installed), replace for better performance and warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in San Francisco, CA?
Garbage disposal repair in San Francisco costs $100-$250 for unjamming or fixing connections. Full disposal replacement with installation runs $250-$500. High-end disposals (3/4 HP+) with installation can cost $400-$700.
How long does a garbage disposal last?
Most garbage disposals last 8-15 years depending on usage and maintenance. If yours is over 10 years old and needs frequent resets or jams, replacement is more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Can a plumber install a garbage disposal?
Yes — plumbers handle both the plumbing connections and the electrical wiring for disposals. In San Francisco County, disposal installation may require a permit if you're adding a new unit where none existed.
Should I repair or replace a garbage disposal?
Repair if: it's a simple jam, loose connection, or bad reset switch. Replace if: the unit leaks from the bottom, makes grinding metal sounds, or is over 10 years old. Replacement usually takes under 2 hours.
