Garbage Disposal Repair — Done Right by a Local Master Plumber
A garbage disposal that hums but won't spin, leaks from the bottom, or trips its own breaker every time you flip the switch is telling you something specific — and it's usually not what the DIY forums think. Angermeier Plumbing diagnoses, repairs, and replaces garbage disposals across Bucks and Montgomery County, plus fixes the drain plumbing under the sink that often gets damaged when a bad disposal leaks for months.

Our Process
How We Fix Disposals
1. Diagnose
We check breaker, reset button, jam, motor, and mounting seals — often the fix is simple and 10 minutes.
2. Repair the fixable stuff
Jams cleared, reset buttons popped, dishwasher inlet knock-outs installed properly, mounting rings tightened.
3. Replace when needed
Leaks from the disposal body, dead motor, or corroded chamber = time for a new unit. We source and install.
4. Right-size the new unit
1/3 HP for light use, 3/4 HP for busy family kitchens, 1 HP for heavy users. Match to your actual usage.
5. Fix the drain plumbing too
We check the trap arm, air gap, and dishwasher tie-in — often damaged after a slow leak was ignored.
What We Handle
Disposal Services We Provide
Jam Clearing
Freeing seized disposals — often a coin, silverware, or pit that got past the flapper.
Disposal Replacement
New InSinkErator Evolution, Badger, Waste King, or Moen installed with mounting assembly, discharge tube, and dishwasher hookup.
Leak Repair
Diagnosing whether the leak is the mounting flange (fixable) or the chamber body (replace the unit).

First-time disposal install in a sink that never had one — including electrical coordination with your electrician.
Drain Plumbing Repair

Answers
Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
How much does garbage disposal repair cost?+
In Bucks County most disposal repairs (jam clear, reset, mounting) are a fixed flat rate. Full replacement with a new 3/4 HP unit is a separate flat rate plus the disposal cost. Call 215-364-0133 for current pricing.
How long does a garbage disposal last?+
8–12 years for a decent 3/4 HP unit with normal residential use. Cheap 1/3 HP units often fail in 5–7 years.
Should I repair or replace my disposal?+
Jams, resets, and mounting issues = repair. Leaks from the actual disposal body or a dead motor = replace. Repairing an 8+ year old unit rarely pays back.
Can I install a disposal myself?+
You can, but 90% of leaks we see on disposals are from DIY installs — usually a poorly-seated flange or wrong dishwasher tie-in. A flat-rate professional install is warranty-backed.
What size disposal do I need?+
1/3 HP for a light-use apartment, 3/4 HP for a typical family kitchen, 1 HP for heavy cooking households or homes with a septic system where you want more grind.
What areas do you serve?+
Southampton, Warminster, Warrington, Feasterville, Bensalem, Yardley, Richboro, Huntington Valley, Newtown, Doylestown, Jamison, Hatboro, and surrounding Bucks & Montgomery County, PA communities.
