Jammed, humming or leaking disposals
SnapWork fixes one garbage disposal that is jammed, hums without turning, won't turn on, or leaks at a connection, or installs a replacement unit you bought on the existing plug or wiring. The disposal job has a posted price for the standard work. New wiring, new switches and drain pipe changes are not part of it. We work across Napa County and Solano County.
Updated October 2026
Not included
- New wiring, switches or outlets
- Circuit problems at the electrical panel
- Drain pipe changes and cabinet water damage
Before you call
Turn the disposal off at the wall switch. Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit. If it still hums or won't start, it needs a pro. Never put your hand inside.
Repair or replace
Jams, tripped resets and loose connections are repairs. A unit that leaks from its body, rusts through or keeps tripping needs replacing. Buy one with the same mounting style to keep the swap simple.
Slow sink too?
If the sink drains slowly even with the disposal running, add a drain repair.
What to photograph
- Under the sink, showing the disposal, drain and plug or wiring

Common extras

Why does my disposal hum but not spin?
Something is stuck in it. Turn it off at the switch and don't put your hand inside. The pro clears the jam and resets it.
Should I repair or replace it?
A jam or a loose connection is a repair. A disposal that leaks from its body or is rusted through needs replacing.
Do you supply the disposal?
No. Buy a disposal that fits your sink; the pro installs it.
