Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair

A broken disposal backs up your whole kitchen — get it fixed or replaced by someone who knows what they're doing.

A garbage disposal that hums but won't spin, leaks from the bottom, or has stopped working altogether brings your kitchen sink to a standstill fast. Most homeowners aren't sure whether the unit needs a repair or a full replacement — and that uncertainty usually leads to putting the call off longer than they should. At Platinum Plus Plumbing, Matt looks at the unit first, tells you honestly what's going on, and gives you a clear recommendation based on what actually makes sense for the situation rather than what costs more.

Platinum Plus Plumbing handles garbage disposal repairs and full installations for homeowners across Folsom, Sacramento, Carmichael, Orangevale, and surrounding areas. Whether the disposal is jammed, leaking at the sink flange or the drain connection, making grinding sounds it shouldn't be making, or simply dead on arrival, Matt diagnoses the problem and handles the repair or replacement completely. If a new unit is needed, he installs it from start to finish — electrical connection, mounting, drain hookup, and testing.

If your kitchen sink is out of commission because of a disposal problem, it doesn't need to stay that way for long. Call Platinum Plus Plumbing at (855) 554-0663 and Matt will assess the unit, tell you what it needs, and get it handled in a single visit so your kitchen is back to normal.

What We Offer:

Garbage Disposal Installation – Full installation of a new garbage disposal unit including mounting to the sink flange, drain connection, and electrical hookup. The unit is tested before the job is closed out.
Garbage Disposal Replacement – Old or failed disposal units removed completely and replaced with a new installation. Matt handles the full swap — you don't need to coordinate anything separately.
Jam Clearing & Reset – A disposal that hums but won't turn is usually jammed. Matt clears the jam properly without damaging the unit and checks for underlying causes that would make it happen again.
Disposal Leak Repair – Leaks at the sink flange, side discharge, or drain connection are diagnosed and repaired at the source. A leaking disposal left unaddressed causes cabinet and subfloor damage over time.
Drain Connection Repair – The connection between the disposal and the drain line is a common failure point. Matt repairs or replaces this connection so it seals properly and drains without backing up.
Disposal Noise Diagnosis – Grinding, rattling, or loud humming from a disposal usually indicates something specific — a foreign object, a worn grinding plate, or a failing motor. Matt identifies the cause before any repair recommendation is made.

Why Choose Platinum Plus Plumbing for Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair

Honest Repair vs. Replace Assessment – Matt tells you upfront whether the disposal is worth repairing or if replacement is the more practical call given the unit's age and condition. There's no push toward the more expensive option by default.
Full Installation Handled in One Visit – When a new unit is needed, Platinum Plus Plumbing handles the complete installation — mounting, drain connection, and electrical — in a single visit. You're not waiting on a second appointment to finish the job.
Owner on Every Job – Disposal work at Platinum Plus Plumbing is handled by Matt personally. It may seem like a small job, but it's still done with the same attention to detail as any other plumbing work.
40+ Years of Plumbing Experience – Matt has been handling kitchen plumbing across the Sacramento area since 1984. Disposal installations and repairs are a routine part of that work, done correctly every time.
No Surprise Charges – The cost of the repair or installation is communicated before work begins. If the job turns out to involve something additional once the unit is accessed, you're told about it immediately — not after the invoice is written.
