Garbage Disposal Story from Near Clinton and Brookhurst
Not long ago, we helped a family in Garden Grove near Clinton and Brookhurst where the garbage disposal was leaking right into the base of their kitchen cabinet. They thought it was just the sink trap. But when we checked, the leak was coming from the side of the disposal body—a cracked housing from a jammed spoon that had bent the internal plate.
The kicker? They’d been using it like that for three weeks, and the plywood under the cabinet was soft like a sponge. We shut it down, replaced the cracked unit with a new 3/4 HP model, cleaned up the drain line and sealed the new flange. The wife said it was the first time in a month she wasn’t scared to rinse dishes.
How Garbage Disposal Repair Works
Garbage disposal repair usually starts under the sink. First, we shut off power and check if the reset button tripped. If it didn’t, we manually spin the impellers using a disposal wrench to clear jams. Sometimes the flywheel’s stuck, sometimes the capacitor burned out. If water’s leaking, we inspect the sink flange and body for cracks. We use high-tech headlamps to look around tight cabinet corners.
If we need to replace a gasket or tighten the mounting ring, we’ll do it right then. We carry updated splash guards and the latest anti-jam toolsets that let us work without removing the unit. We test the circuit too—bad wall switches and GFCIs are common. In Orange County, the 2025 average cost for garbage disposal repair runs between $160 and $230 depending on what’s wrong.

DIY Garbage Disposal Mistakes We See
One guy tried to clear a jam with a butter knife. That knife got stuck, bent a blade, and burned the motor. We had to swap the whole unit.
Another homeowner kept resetting the switch after every buzz sound without checking for jams. That melted the internal fuse.
Then there’s the folks who think chemical drain cleaners fix disposals. All it did was eat the rubber seal and ruin the unit from inside.
