Why Choose Homewerx?

Jammed Disposals Are Usually Fixable

Before replacing a humming, non-spinning disposal, a professional reset and manual rotation often frees the jam. We save you the cost of a new unit when a simple repair will do.

Leaking Disposals Cause Cabinet Damage

A disposal that leaks from its mounting flange, discharge pipe, or dishwasher connection drips silently inside the cabinet. By the time you notice, the cabinet floor and subfloor may need replacement.

Disposal Size Matters

A 1/3 HP disposal in a household that cooks daily will jam constantly. We match disposal horsepower to your actual kitchen usage — typically 3/4 HP for most San Diego families.

Electrical Connections Require Care

Disposals are hardwired or plug-connected to a switched circuit. Improper wiring creates shock and fire hazards. We ensure safe electrical connections that meet code.

Our Process

01

Diagnosis

We determine whether your disposal issue is a jam, motor failure, electrical problem, or leak — and whether repair or replacement is the right call.

02

Repair Attempt

For jams and minor issues, we clear the obstruction, reset the motor, and test operation. Many disposal problems are solved without replacement.

03

Unit Selection

When replacement is needed, we recommend disposals matched to your household size, cooking habits, and septic vs. sewer connection. We install InSinkErator and other quality brands.

04

Removal & Installation

We disconnect and remove the old unit, inspect the mounting assembly and drain connection, install the new disposal, and connect the dishwasher drain line if present.

05

Plumbing Connection

We ensure the discharge connects properly to your drain system with correct slope and a properly installed P-trap. Poor discharge connections cause slow drainage and odors.

06

Testing & Usage Guidance

Full operation test with water running, followed by guidance on what should and shouldn't go into the disposal to maximize its lifespan.
