About FixDisposal.com

Our Mission

FixDisposal.com exists for one reason: help homeowners fix garbage disposal problems without calling a plumber.

Most disposal issues — jams, resets, clogs, humming — are simple fixes that take 5 minutes once you know what to do. We break down each problem with clear, step-by-step guides so you can get your disposal running again and move on with your day.

Why We Built This Site

We noticed something frustrating about online disposal help:

The problem: Most content either buries the answer under paragraphs of fluff, or pushes you toward expensive service calls for problems you could easily fix yourself.

Our solution: Guides that get to the answer first. When your disposal stops working, you want to fix it — not read a 2,000-word history of garbage disposals.

Every guide on this site respects your time. Answer first, explanation second.

Our Approach

• Specifics matter. We say “1/4 inch Allen wrench” instead of just “Allen wrench.” Details help you get it done.
• Honesty about limits. Some problems genuinely need professional help. We’ll tell you when DIY won’t work and it’s time to call someone.
• No pressure. This site isn’t here to sell you a new disposal. We want to help you fix the one you have.
• Research-backed. Our guides are verified against manufacturer guidance and real-world repair experience.
