What does garbage disposal repair involve?
A garbage disposal problem can involve the appliance, its mounting or a drain connection. Ask the contractor to identify the source before deciding whether a repair, reconnection or replacement is appropriate.
What information should I give the contractor?
- Whether the disposal hums, will not run or visibly leaks
- Where water appears and whether the sink drains slowly
- The make/model and age if known, without putting a hand inside the unit

What should I confirm before booking?
Ask for the business name, license details, visit or diagnostic fee, assessment method and written repair scope. Check licensing through California CSLB (official license lookup: https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx). Ask whether permits, inspection records or a warranty are included, and who is responsible for each.
