Modern Convenience at Your Fingertips

A reliable garbage disposal (also called a garburator) makes meal prep and cleanup easy. If yours is jammed, leaking or simply outdated, Minuteman Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can help.

We provide emergency repairs and all of our work comes with a lifetime workmanship guarantee to homeowners and businesses across Greater Boston and South Shore.

With decades of combined experience in plumbing, heating and cooling, we install and service disposals of all makes and models. From clearing stubborn jams to installing high‑efficiency units that handle modern food waste, we keep your kitchen sink running smoothly and odour‑free.

When to Replace or Repair Your Garbage Disposal

A faulty disposal can cause leaks, odors, and clogs. Repair or replacement keeps your kitchen efficient and odor-free.

Frequent Jams

Persistent clogs or humming noises often indicate a dull impeller or worn‑out motor. Accumulated grease and food waste can clog drains and lead to slow drainage.

Leaking Unit

Water dripping from the disposal housing or sink flange signals worn seals or cracks that require immediate repair or replacement.

Bad Odours

Foul smells that won’t go away even after cleaning indicate trapped food waste or bacteria buildup.

Reset Button Trips Frequently

An aging motor may overheat and require replacement.

Inefficient Grinding

If you find larger food particles left behind, your disposal may be underpowered or nearing the end of its life.
