Garbage Disposal Repair & Installation in Julian, CA

A quality garbage disposal lasts 10-12 years under normal residential use. San Diego's hard water and active household use can shorten that to 8-10 years. If your disposal is over 8 years old and needs repair, the repair cost often approaches or exceeds the cost of a new unit. We'll give you an honest assessment before recommending repair or replacement.

It depends where the leak is coming from. A leak from the sink flange (top of the unit) is usually fixable with a new gasket or plumber's putty, typically $75-$150. A leak from the side port or drain connection is usually a hose or clamp issue, also repairable. A leak from the bottom of the unit indicates a failed internal seal, which typically makes replacement more practical than repair.
