Jammed, leaking, or non-functioning garbage disposals are diagnosed and repaired or replaced as needed.

Internal components are checked for jams, wear, or failure depending on the symptom.
Based on findings, the unit is repaired or a new disposal is installed.
All plumbing and electrical connections are properly sealed and secured.
