Garbage Disposals in Kansas City

Garbage Disposals starts with finding the actual cause.

Garbage disposal repair, replacement, and installation. Similar symptoms can have very different causes, which is why we inspect the affected system before recommending work. Haha's explains the findings in plain language and gives you the available choices before an approved repair or installation begins.

Signs It is Time to Schedule Service

• A disposal that hums but does not spin, or will not turn on at all
• Leaking from the bottom, side or the drain connections
• Foul odors, repeated jams or slow draining in the sink

Never put your hand in a disposal, even if it is off. If it is leaking or tripping the breaker, turn off the power at the breaker and call.

What Can Cause the Problem?

A humming disposal is usually jammed. A dead one may have a tripped reset button or a failed motor. Leaks come from worn seals, cracked housings or loose drain connections. Odors and slow drains often come from buildup in the unit or drain line.

How We Diagnose Garbage Disposals

We check power, the reset button and whether the flywheel turns freely, then inspect the mounting, seals and drain connections. We check the drain beyond the disposal to see if a clog is behind the symptom.

Repair, Installation, and Cost Factors

Cost depends on whether the disposal can be freed or reset, whether a seal can be replaced or the unit has failed and the horsepower of a replacement. A cracked housing means replacement.

We explain the repair and replacement options before work starts. The $89 diagnostic fee is waived with an approved repair.

Built for Kansas City Conditions

Disposals work hardest around the holidays when heavy cooking sends grease and fibrous food down the drain. Cold water and small loads help protect both the disposal and the line.
