A New Disposal, Hooked to Drain Lines That Won't Leak Under Your Sink
A garbage disposal installed in a Fredericksburg, VA kitchen is only as good as the drain lines under it. A Clog Heroes technician installs or repairs the unit, checks the trap and drain lines it connects to, and writes down the price first. You approve it before any work starts.

Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Attention
Some disposal problems are a reset button. Others mean the unit is done.
It Hums but Won't Spin
Something is jammed between the plate and the housing, or the motor is failing.
Water Under the Sink
Leaks come from the sink flange, the drain connection or a cracked housing. A cracked housing means replacement.
Water Backs Up Into the Sink
A clog in the disposal, the trap or the kitchen drain line beyond it. See four signs your disposal is clogged.
It Keeps Tripping or Won't Turn On
A tripped reset, a wiring fault or a burned-out motor.
No Disposal at All
Adding one to a kitchen sink that never had one is an install, not a repair.
Repair It When It's Worth It, Replace It When It's Not
Your technician finds out whether the disposal is jammed, leaking or worn out, and looks at the drain lines it ties into. You get a written price to repair or replace it before anything starts.
Jams, Clogs and Loose Connections
Disposal Repair
A jam, a clog in the trap or a leaking connection can often be fixed without a new unit.
New or Replacement Units
Disposal Installation
The old unit comes out, the new one is mounted to the sink and connected to the drain and the dishwasher line if you have one. Worn drain lines can be replaced at the same visit.

Garbage Disposal Installation Questions
How Much Does Garbage Disposal Installation Cost in Fredericksburg, VA?
It's priced on site, in writing, before any work starts. The dispatch fee is $89, waived when you go ahead on site. After-hours and emergency dispatch is $189 and is never credited back.
Should I Repair or Replace My Disposal?
A jam, a clog or a loose connection is usually a repair. A cracked housing or a burned-out motor means a new unit. Your technician tells you which, with the price for each.
Can I Put Eggshells Down the Disposal?
No. Eggshells don't sharpen anything, and the grit packs into the drain line. Our camera has found them doing exactly that. See eggshells in the garbage disposal.
My Disposal Is Clogged and the Sink Won't Drain. Who Do I Call?

Garbage Disposal Guides From Clog Heroes
Garbage Disposal Clogged? Four Warning Signs, What Causes Them and What to Check First
Standing water, a hum with no grinding, a sour smell or a unit that won't start at all: each one points to a different problem. Some checks are safe to do yourself. Others mean it's time to call.
Egg Shells in the Garbage Disposal: Why They Don't Sharpen Anything and Can Clog the Drain
Egg shells can't sharpen disposal blades, because a disposal has no blades. It grinds with impellers, and shells break into gritty bits while the membrane wraps around the parts. A compost bin is the better home for them.
