Garbage Disposal Repair and Installation- Full Diagnostic Test: We cut power, test the motor windings, check the flywheel for jams, inspect the grind ring and impellers, and check the mounting assembly. You get a clear finding and a price before we start any repair.
- Repair or New Unit: If it's a jam, a worn part, or a tripped overload, we fix it. If the motor is dead or the housing is rusted, we install a new 1/3 HP to 1 HP unit from Waste King, InSinkErator, or Moen, whichever fits your cabinet and budget.

Garbage Disposal Repair Schertz TX: What We Actually Do
A disposal that hums, leaks, or trips the breaker is a kitchen shutdown. We diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave. Doing it right the first time costs less than doing it twice.
Garbage disposal repair schertz TX covers the full range of failures a disposal can throw at you: a motor that hums but won't spin, a flywheel jammed on a spoon handle, a worn impeller that no longer grinds, or a leaking sink flange that drips into the cabinet. We pull the unit, test the motor windings, inspect the grind ring and impellers, and check the mounting assembly and dishwasher knockout. If the motor is dead, we replace it. If it's a jam or a worn part, we fix it on the spot.
Most Schertz homes were built between the 1980s and 2000s, and many still run the original builder-grade disposal. Those units typically last 8 to 12 years before the motor burns out or the housing rusts through. If your disposal is older than that and you're calling for kitchen disposal repair schertz, replacement usually costs less than a second repair. We stock 1/3 HP through 1 HP units from Waste King, InSinkErator, and Moen so we can swap it the same visit.

How Our Disposal Service Works
You call, we diagnose, you approve a price, we fix it, and we test it with you watching. No mystery, no surprise invoice.
Tools and Methods We Use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Speeds up mounting ring removal and reinstallation under the sink. Cordless means no extension cord across your kitchen floor and no tripping hazard.
Used on the P-trap and discharge tube connections when we pull and reseat the disposal. Proper jaw pressure prevents crushing the thin-wall drain fittings.
Clears the trap arm and branch line when a disposal drains slowly. We snake the line before assuming the disposal itself is the problem.
Runs down the kitchen drain line when snaking doesn't clear the blockage. You see the footage and we explain what's causing the backup.

How Disposal Work Runs in Schertz
Schertz sits in Bexar County with a mix of 1980s to 2000s subdivisions and newer builds, and most of the disposals we see are original builder-grade units. Those typically last 8 to 12 years before the motor burns out or the housing rusts.
Schertz Heights
Older homes with original builder-grade disposals and cast iron drain lines. We see more rusted housings and slow drains here than anywhere else in Schertz.
Cibolo Canyons area
Newer construction with PEX supply lines and PVC drains. Disposal failures here are usually jams or worn impellers, not rust, so repair is often the right call.
Northcliff
Established neighborhood with a mix of original and replaced disposals. We often find undersized 1/3 HP units that struggle with normal kitchen loads.

PhotoJammed Disposal to Quiet Spin
Before: A Schertz homeowner's disposal hummed but wouldn't spin after a spoon handle went down the drain. They'd reset the overload three times with no luck and were ready to buy a new unit.
After: We cut power, freed the flywheel with a hex wrench, and reset the overload. The disposal spun clean on the first test. Total repair time was 20 minutes and the unit is still running strong.
Leaking Flange to Dry Cabinet
Before: A Cibolo family had water pooling in the cabinet under the sink every time they ran the dishwasher. The cabinet floor was soft and the outlet showed signs of moisture.
After: We pulled the disposal, replaced the sink flange gasket and discharge seals, and checked the dishwasher knockout. The leak test ran clean for a full minute. The cabinet floor dried out and the outlet was safe.
Dead Motor to New 3/4 HP Unit
Before: A Universal City rental had a disposal that tripped the breaker on every reset. The motor windings were gone and the housing was rusted through. The unit was 11 years old.
After: We installed a new 3/4 HP unit with fresh gaskets, checked the outlet and cord, and ran a full leak test. The job took 70 minutes and the old disposal was hauled away. The tenant moved in that weekend.
Disposal Problems We Fix in Schertz
Most disposal calls fall into a handful of familiar failures.
Disposal hums but won't spin
The motor is running but the flywheel is jammed, usually on a spoon, bone, or fibrous scrap.
Water leaking under the sink
A leaking sink flange or discharge tube drips into the cabinet, warps the floor, and can short the outlet.
Disposal trips the breaker repeatedly
A disposal that trips the breaker after every reset has a failing motor or a wiring fault.
Slow drain after the disposal runs
A disposal that drains slowly usually points to a clogged drain downstream, not the unit itself.

What Schertz Customers Say
Our disposal started humming and wouldn't spin. I called Pro Plumbing Schertz and they had a tech out the same afternoon. He pulled a piece of a spoon out of the flywheel, reset it, and showed me how to do it myself next time. Charged me the repair price he quoted on the phone. No upsell, no drama.
The disposal was leaking into the cabinet and the wood was getting soft. They replaced the unit, resealed the sink flange, and fixed the dishwasher connection all in one visit. Took about an hour. They hauled the old one away and wiped down the cabinet. Fair price and they showed me the leak test before they left.
I manage several rentals and disposals are a constant headache. Pro Plumbing Schertz has replaced three units for me this year. They show up when they say, the pricing is consistent, and they send photos of the finished work. That's all I need. I don't call anyone else for kitchen plumbing now.

Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
876383746A simple jam reset or overload trip is on the low end. A leaking flange reseal or a motor swap sits higher. We quote the price before we start, and there's no diagnostic fee tacked on at the end.
The price depends on the horsepower you choose, cabinet clearance, and whether the wiring or outlet needs attention. We stock 1/3 HP to 1 HP units so we can usually finish the same visit.
The three most common causes are a jammed flywheel, a tripped overload switch, or a burned-out motor. If it hums but won't spin, something is stuck in the grind chamber. If it's silent, the overload or the breaker tripped. If it trips repeatedly after a reset, the motor windings are likely gone and replacement is the better call.
Yes. We replace disposals for Schertz homeowners and small commercial kitchens across Bexar County. We pull the old unit, clean and reseal the sink flange, set the new disposal, reconnect the discharge tube and dishwasher line, and test it with water before we leave. Most swaps take 45 to 90 minutes.
