We fix the ones that can be fixed, replace the ones that can't, and tell you straight which one yours is.
Here's something most people don't realize about garbage disposals: about half the units we're called out to replace don't actually need replacing. They need a jammed flywheel freed with an Allen key. Or a stuck splash guard cleaned out. Or a leaking dishwasher inlet hose tightened. Five minutes of work, twenty bucks in parts, problem solved.
The other half do need replacement. And when they do, doing the install right matters more than most folks expect — because a sloppy disposal install leaks under the sink for years before anyone notices, ruins the cabinet below, and creates a much bigger problem than the original failed unit.
At JRS Plumbing Services in Houston, TX, we figure out which situation you're actually in before quoting anything. Then we either fix it on the spot or replace it cleanly. Same visit, same crew, no runaround.
The full scope of disposal work, from quick fixes to full installations.
The most common disposal call we get in Wyomingis "it hums but doesn't run." Almost always, this means the impellers are jammed. We fix this in about fifteen minutes. We also tell you what caused it so it doesn't happen again.
When replacement is needed, we walk you through options. Most Wyomingkitchens are served well by a solid 3/4 HP unit. We handle the entire job cleanly in about an hour with proper seals and testing.
We install and service the full InSinkErator line — Badger series for budget, Evolution for quiet power, and commercial units. We match the right model to your actual usage.
Leaks at the flange, dishwasher inlet, discharge, or body. We diagnose exactly where it's coming from and fix it properly — often without full replacement.
If it runs but doesn't drain, it's usually a downstream clog in the P-trap or line. We clear the real problem.
We clean organic buildup and investigate if the smell is coming from the trap, venting, or elsewhere.
Telling you when not to call us is part of how we operate in Houston.
