Garbage Disposal in Orange County

Repair or install a garbage disposal for your kitchen.

A garbage disposal that hums, jams, leaks or has quit entirely is a quick fix for a professional and a daily frustration for you. Done right, sealed, mounted and connected properly, it is a job that lasts; done poorly, it is the leak under the sink six months later.

ASL Plumbing repairs and installs garbage disposals across Orange County, with upfront pricing and clean, code-compliant work. Whether it is a jam, a leak or a full replacement, we handle it in a single visit in most cases.

Garbage disposal services

Jammed or humming units

A disposal that hums but will not turn usually has a jam or a seized motor. We can often free a jam and get it running; if the motor has failed, we will tell you before replacing it.

Leaking disposals

Leaks can come from the seals, the mounting ring, the drain connections or the unit body. We find the exact source and fix it properly, rather than just tightening and hoping.

Failed or old units

When a disposal has stopped working, is badly corroded, or is simply old and noisy, we install a properly sized replacement and haul away the old one.

New installations

Adding a disposal where there was not one before, tied into your plumbing and electrical to code, including the switch and drain connections.

Signs your disposal needs service

  • It hums but does not spin
  • It will not turn on at all
  • Water leaking underneath the sink
  • Persistent odor that cleaning does not fix
  • Loud grinding or rattling
  • Frequent jams or clogs

Why a proper install matters

A garbage disposal is a small job, but the small jobs are where corner-cutting shows up later. An improperly sealed or mounted unit leaks slowly under the sink, feeding mold and warping the cabinet base before you notice. Overloaded or wrongly wired units fail early. Doing it right the first time, correctly sealed, properly mounted and connected to code, is what prevents the callback and the water damage, and it is exactly the care we bring to every disposal we touch.

How our garbage disposal works

1
Diagnose

We determine whether the unit can be repaired or is better replaced, and explain the reasoning honestly rather than defaulting to a new unit.

2
Upfront price

You get the price before we start, with free estimates and no pressure.

3
Install or repair cleanly

We complete the work to code, seal and test it, and clean up. We guarantee our work.

Good to know

Garbage Disposal FAQs

My disposal just hums. Can you fix it?+
Often yes. A hum usually means a jam or a seized motor. We can frequently free a jam and get it running again, and if the motor has failed we will let you know before replacing the unit.
Should I repair or replace it?+
It depends on the age and the problem. We give you an honest recommendation, since sometimes replacing an old, corroded unit is more cost-effective than repairing it.
Can you add a disposal where I do not have one?+
Yes, as long as the plumbing and electrical allow it. We assess it during the free estimate and install to code, including the drain and switch connections.
How long does it take?+
Most disposal repairs and replacements are completed in a single visit.
Why does my disposal keep jamming?+
Common causes are hard or fibrous food waste, too much at once, or a unit that is undersized for how it is used. We can clear the jam and advise on what to avoid, or size a stronger unit if replacement makes sense.
