Pros of Having a Garbage Disposal:

Reduces Kitchen Odors: Prevents food waste from rotting in the trash.
Protects Drains (when used correctly): Grinds food to prevent clogs.

Our Comprehensive Garbage Disposal Services
From simple fixes to complete replacements, we handle every aspect of garbage disposal service. Don't risk injury—trust our licensed plumbers for safe, effective solutions.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Don't risk injury by putting your hands down a jammed drain. Our technicians can safely and quickly diagnose and fix all common garbage disposal problems.
At Principle Plumbing, we have the specialized tools and expertise to safely repair your disposal and get your kitchen back to normal.
Common Problems We Fix:
- Humming But Not Grinding: This almost always indicates a jam. We have specialized tools to safely free the impellers and get your unit running again.
- Disposal is Leaking: Leaks can come from the sink flange, dishwasher connection, or the unit's housing. We'll pinpoint the source and provide a lasting repair.
- Won't Turn On: This could be a simple electrical issue, like needing to press the reset button, or it could indicate a more serious motor failure.
- Excessively Loud or Vibrating: This may be a foreign object in the grind chamber or a sign of worn-out internal components.
Trust Principle Plumbing for safe, professional repairs that get your disposal working properly again.
Installation & Replacement
If your unit is old, underpowered, or beyond repair, a replacement is the best option. We make the process simple and seamless.
We help you choose the right model and install industry-leading InSinkErator® units with meticulous attention to detail.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS:
- Consultation: We help you choose the right model based on your needs, from standard-duty units for small households to powerful continuous-feed models for avid home cooks.
- Professional Installation: We ensure the new unit is securely mounted to the sink flange, all plumbing connections are watertight, and electrical connections are safe and up to code.
- Testing and Cleanup: We thoroughly test the new unit for leaks and proper operation and leave your kitchen spotless.
RECOMMENDED MODELS:
For Everyday Use (1-3 people): The InSinkErator Badger® 5 (1/2 HP) is a durable and reliable workhorse, perfect for handling the daily scraps of a smaller household.
For a Busy Family Kitchen (4+ people): We recommend the InSinkErator Evolution Compact® (3/4 HP) with a more powerful motor and advanced sound-deadening technology.
With Principle Plumbing, you're choosing experienced professionals who ensure your new disposal is installed right the first time.

Safe, Professional Garbage Disposal Repair
At Principle Plumbing, we understand that a jammed or leaking garbage disposal can bring your entire kitchen routine to a halt. Our licensed plumbers have the specialized tools and expertise to safely diagnose and fix all common problems—from humming motors and jams to leaks and electrical issues. We never recommend putting your hands down a jammed drain. Instead, we use professional equipment to safely free impellers, repair leaks at the sink flange or dishwasher connection, and restore your disposal to proper working order.
Choosing the Right Unit for Your Kitchen
The performance of your disposal comes down to its motor and grinding technology. We help you select the perfect fit for your household size and cooking habits. For everyday use (1-3 people), we recommend the durable InSinkErator Badger® 5 (1/2 HP). For busy family kitchens (4+ people), we suggest upgrading to the InSinkErator Evolution Compact® (3/4 HP) with advanced sound-deadening technology. Our installation process is meticulous—we ensure secure mounting, watertight connections, and safe electrical hookup that meets all Addison building codes.
Keeping Your Disposal Running Smoothly
Proper use and maintenance extend the life of your garbage disposal significantly. Always run cold water when using your disposal to keep grease and fats solid. Avoid fibrous materials (celery stalks, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, pasta), coffee grounds, and grease or bones. Clean it naturally by grinding ice cubes to clean the impellers, followed by citrus peels to freshen the drain. For simple issues like common jams, a repair is cost-effective, but if your unit is leaking from the main housing or has a burned-out motor, replacement is more economical—especially for units over 8 years old.
