A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life. Our Cato technicians diagnose and carry common replacement units on the truck.
If a disposal is old and the repair cost approaches replacement cost, we'll tell you honestly instead of patching it.
Disposal work involves both plumbing and electrical connections — our Cato technicians are trained and insured for both.
Trucks staged across Cato mean disposal calls aren't pushed behind bigger jobs.
You'll know the repair or replacement price before any work begins.
From a simple jammed flywheel to a full unit replacement, we diagnose before recommending the fix.
We clear the jam and test the unit through a full cycle before considering the job done.
{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
When a unit is beyond repair, we install a properly sized replacement matched to your sink and usage needs.
We isolate whether the leak is the disposal itself or a connection point before recommending a fix.
We check the wiring and connection, not just the reset button, to find the actual cause of repeated tripping.
Persistent odors from the disposal are addressed with a proper flush and inspection of the drain trap beyond the unit itself.
A quick call gets a technician scheduled with common disposal parts on hand.
A technician arrives within the scheduled window ready to diagnose the unit and connections.
The disposal is diagnosed, and you'll get an honest repair-versus-replace recommendation with a flat price.
We run the disposal through a complete test cycle before calling the job done, then back it with a warranty.
"Unit was over 12 years old and they told me honestly replacement made more sense than repair." — Homeowner, Cato
"Leak under the sink turned out to be the disposal seal, not the drain pipe I assumed." — Cato resident
"New unit installed same day after the old one finally gave out. Quiet and works great." — Cato customer
Our disposal repair technicians cover Cato and the surrounding Cato, NY area, with same-day availability for non-functioning units.
A humming motor with no spin is the classic sign of a mechanical jam, not usually a motor failure.
We compare repair cost against a new unit's cost and lifespan so you can decide with real information.
Pricing is confirmed after diagnosis, whether it's a simple clear or a new unit installation.
Often an electrical issue or an overloaded motor from grinding something too tough — we diagnose which it is.
We isolate the leak source first since a seal repair is much less costly than a full swap.
We'll check that your chosen unit is a good fit before installation day.
