A garbage disposal should make kitchen cleanup easier, not louder, messier, or more stressful. If yours is jammed, leaking, humming, draining slowly, or not turning on, Zippity Split provides professional garbage disposal repair and installation in Phoenix.

Disposal problems can start inside the unit, at the sink connection, or farther down the kitchen drain line. Our team diagnoses the issue, explains your options, and helps you decide whether repair, replacement, drain inspection, or drain cleaning makes the most sense.

Need urgent help with a broken disposal, backed-up sink, or leak under the cabinet? Our emergency plumbing service is available 24/7. Contact Zippity Split to schedule garbage disposal service in Phoenix.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Garbage disposal issues can show up in a few different ways. Some are obvious, like a leak under the sink. Others are harder to spot until the sink starts backing up or the unit stops responding.

Our plumbers inspect the disposal, sink connections, drain piping, and related plumbing before recommending a fix. That helps us identify whether the problem is isolated to the disposal or connected to a larger kitchen plumbing issue.

  • Jammed garbage disposals
  • Humming units that will not spin
  • Leaks under the sink or around the disposal
  • Strange grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises
  • Slow-draining kitchen sinks
  • Disposals that keep tripping the reset button
  • Units that will not turn on
  • Worn or failing disposal components

Once we know what is causing the problem, we explain your options in plain language. If a repair makes sense, we handle it carefully. If replacement is the better long-term choice, we will explain why before any work begins.

Benefits of Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation

A working garbage disposal does more than make cleanup easier. It also helps your kitchen sink drain more smoothly and can reduce the chance of food waste collecting in the wrong places.

Repairing or replacing a struggling disposal can improve daily use and help prevent avoidable plumbing problems. It is especially helpful when the unit has become noisy, unreliable, or difficult to use.

  • Fewer kitchen clogs: A working disposal helps food waste move through your sink more effectively and reduces the chance of messy backups.
  • Less odor at the sink: Old or damaged units can trap food and create unpleasant smells that linger in the kitchen.
  • Quieter daily use: Repairing or replacing a struggling disposal can eliminate grinding, rattling, and humming noises.
  • Better protection for your plumbing: A properly installed disposal helps reduce strain on your sink drain and connected piping.
  • More convenience after meals: When the unit works the way it should, cleanup is faster and simpler.

The right solution depends on the condition of the unit and the surrounding plumbing. Our team checks both, so you are not stuck fixing the same symptom again later.

Garbage Disposal Repair

Not every broken garbage disposal needs to be replaced. Some units can be repaired quickly if the motor, mounting hardware, wiring, or internal parts are still in good condition.

Our team repairs common garbage disposal problems and checks the surrounding plumbing while we are there. This is especially important when the disposal issue is paired with slow drainage or recurring sink backups.

  • Jams caused by food waste or foreign objects
  • Electrical issues or reset button problems
  • Worn components inside the unit
  • Leaks from connections or mounting points
  • Unusual noises during operation
  • Drainage problems connected to the disposal

If your kitchen sink is draining slowly, too, the disposal may not be the only problem. In that case, we may recommend drain snaking or a closer look at the drain line to check for buildup or a blockage farther down the system.

Garbage Disposal Installation

If a new unit makes more sense, Zippity Split provides garbage disposal installation with careful attention to fit, performance, and long-term reliability. We can replace an older unit or add a disposal to a kitchen without one.

Proper installation matters just as much as the product itself. A poor connection, improper drain setup, or overlooked plumbing issue can lead to leaks, odors, slow drainage, or early failure.

  • Remove the old disposal when replacement is needed
  • Check the sink, drain connection, and mounting assembly
  • Install the new garbage disposal securely
  • Confirm proper electrical and plumbing connections
  • Test the unit for leaks, noise, and drainage
  • Make sure the sink area is ready to use before we leave

A properly installed disposal should run smoothly, drain properly, and fit your kitchen plumbing setup. Before we finish, we will test the installation and make sure you know how to use the new unit safely.

Repair or Replace?

Some disposal problems are worth repairing. Others are signs that the unit is near the end of its service life.

We help you compare the two options based on the disposal’s age, the condition of your plumbing, and how often the problem occurs. The goal is to give you a clear recommendation, not push you toward work you do not need.

  • Repair may make sense if the unit is newer, the issue is minor, or the problem is limited to a jam, a connection, or a replaceable part.
  • Replacement may make sense if the unit leaks from the bottom, jams repeatedly, smells even after cleaning, or trips the reset button often.
  • A drain service may be needed if the disposal works, but the sink still drains slowly or backs up.

Once we inspect the unit, we will explain which option makes the most sense for your home. If replacement is the better value, we install the new disposal correctly the first time.

What to Expect During Service

Garbage disposal service should be straightforward. Our plumbers arrive on time, inspect the issue, and explain what needs to happen before work begins.

We also check for related drain issues because a broken disposal and a slow kitchen sink often go together. That extra step helps prevent a quick fix from becoming a recurring problem.

  • Inspect the garbage disposal and sink connections
  • Check for leaks, jams, noise, or power issues
  • Test kitchen sink drainage
  • Explain repair and replacement options
  • Complete the approved work
  • Test the disposal before we leave
  • Clean up the work area

Many garbage disposal repairs and installations can be completed in a single visit. Before we leave, we test the unit, check for leaks, confirm proper drainage, and make sure the sink area is ready to use again.

This company is now my ‘go to’ for all plumbing needs. Used once in the past for a small job & remembered how amazing they were when my water heater went out. My call was answered quickly, dispatched immediately, friendly, professional, clean, and fair pricing! I’ve already sent messages to many today to save their contact information.

Zippity Split's postcard came in the mail yesterday. Typically those types of mailings go directly to recycle. However something told me to set it aside and take a closer look. I'm so glad. They had gotten great reviews. This morning I woke up to a wet bathroom floor and a dripping valve. There was no panic because I knew exactly who to call. Brett came out this early PM and replaced faulty parts, as well as providing useful information about the repair. He also fixed a few things, which I was told at the time of booking the appt, was not considered "plumbing", but Brett fixed them anyway...with a smile. Heaven forbid any future issues, but if and when they occur, Zippity Split will be first on the list for plumbing services.

After having 2 other plumbers look at our home, we went with your company on the recommendation of our Realtor. From start to finish, the project was handled in a competent, professional and organized manner. Their original estimates were honored, they were helpful with the information we needed for our insurance claim. Mikey and his crew were so respectful of our home. They were willing to show us and explain what they found every step of the way. They were kind and thoughtful throughout the whole project. We highly recommend Zippity Split Plumbing.

I’m truly impressed, from my initial contact call to Mike doing a fantastic job clearing my kitchen drain, and all the communication in between. Most professional, yet personable, service provider I have ever had in my home. They told me what they were gonna do, and they did it! Great customer service. I’ll surely call them again for my plumbing needs!

I hired Zippity Split to help me unclog a very clogged kitchen sink. The experience was everything you hope a service experience like this will be; they gave a two hour time window and arrived at the very start of the window, you receive a text when they are on the way and can track arrival in real time, the technician (Brett) was very knowledgeable and personable and completed the task quickly (but not at the expense of quality workmanship). He also gave me some helpful tips for the future and recommended some additional work that should be taken care of in the future, but was not at all pushy about it. It never felt like a sales pitch and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of during a time of misfortune (which is the norm with home repairs). Brett presented the best and worst case scenarios from the beginning and kept me informed along the way. I really took a risk in hiring a company without a recommendation from someone I know personally and I'm so glad that I did! The only negative I can share, if I had to be nitpicky, is that I asked for a quote for the other recommended repairs and haven't received it yet.

I have had to call on Zippity Split again for a problem with front yard hose bib which needed to be replaced and pressure valve added. They have done other plumbing issues in the past…fixed front main water valve, leak in main water line to house and most recently clogged toilet and laundry/kitchen drain. The guys that have come out have been great! Very professional and let you know what they need to do and why. Clean up afterwards and explain what they did. Definitely a 5 star company. Don’t hesitate to contact them, you won’t be disappointed.

An elderly member of our church had a pipe leaking from under his home, in a very small crawl space. Luckily, he managed to shut the water off quickly, but when he called his normal plumber (under extended contract) they told him it would be over a week before they could respond. He was stuck with no water in Phoenix summer temps, and his plumber was no help. Our church member, frustrated, called several of us for help. I knew Zippity Split from using them previously, so I called. James was there in about 30 minutes, found the leak, and said one of his co-workers, Sam, would be out to repair it soon. Sam showed up one hour earlier than projected, and had the repair in place with a 2-year warranty, for exactly James' quoted price. The water was back on in time for an early dinner. This was not an "easy" repair. The crawl space James and Sam worked in was about 2-3' high and had pipes that looked like spaghetti everywhere. The outside temperature was around 109 deg. From their customer service desk, to the techs--five stars are not enough! This is hands down, the best plumbing and A/C company I've ever known, and I've lived all over the country in the military. The only problem is because some of us in our church agreed to pay our dear member's bill, I could not figure out how to get this post under my own name, and not our church secretary's name. There is a reason Zippity Split has over 830 five stars, and nothing less. Need I say more?

Excellent, job extremely well done by Jesus and Levi, and Jeremy for walking through the process. I would use them over and over again. Very professional, the kind you dont see very much of these days. I had my cast iron sewer pipe lined with the trenchless sleeve, the peace of mind is worth it. Any house over 50 years old needs to seriously consider this investment.
