Repair a jammed, leaking, noisy, or failed disposal, or replace it with a properly installed new unit.
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair is a professional service service for residential and commercial plumbing or mechanical systems. Tandem Mechanical evaluates the existing condition, identifies the actual problem or installation requirement, explains the available options and completes the approved scope with testing afterward.
Exactly what we do, what you get, and what to expect — answered the way a careful customer would ask.
Expected duration: A jam clearing or minor repair typically takes 30–60 minutes. A straight disposal replacement on an existing mounting configuration takes 1–2 hours. A new installation in a sink that has never had a disposal, which may require drain reconfiguration, typically takes 2–3 hours.
Workmanship on all disposal repairs and installations is guaranteed. Manufacturer warranties on newly installed disposal units vary by brand and model — our technician will inform you of the applicable warranty at the time of installation. Warranty coverage does not extend to damage caused by improper use, foreign objects introduced into the disposal, or plumbing failures unrelated to the work performed.
Professional service covering the full scope of garbage disposal installation & repair needs.
Diagnosis of jams, leaks, noise, vibration, slow drainage, and units that do not operate.
Removal of failed units and installation of compatible replacement equipment.
Inspection and repair of accessible disposal discharge, trap, and sink drain connections.
Coordination with sink, faucet, and related kitchen plumbing when the project involves multiple components.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, a technician can diagnose the problem and recommend the right solution.
Our first job is to diagnose the problem. We do not assume a failed system automatically needs replacement.
A jam or connection leak may be repairable. Replacement may be the better option when the disposal body leaks, the motor or internal components have failed, the unit is badly corroded, or repair is not economical.
If replacement is the practical choice, qualifying installation financing may be available. Subject to approval.
Common kitchen disposal systems connected to sink drainage.
Disposals with compatible dishwasher drain connections where applicable.
Compatible replacement units installed with required sink and drain connections.

Complete the approved service
Test for operation, drainage, and leaks
Residential disposal service focuses on safe operation, leak-free mounting, correct drainage, and compatibility with the sink and connected plumbing.
Some commercial or food-service applications use different waste-handling equipment and requirements. We review the fixture and system before confirming the appropriate plumbing scope.
Performance depends on unit condition, mounting, drain layout, trap condition, electrical supply, dishwasher connection where present, and what materials are being put through the disposal.
Run appropriate water flow when using the disposal, avoid grease and fibrous or inappropriate waste, and stop using a unit that leaks, repeatedly jams, or makes abnormal mechanical noise.
Garbage disposal installation and repair are available throughout Tandem Mechanical's active service area.
