Why Call Masters Plumbing Service for Disposal Work

What You Get When You Call Us for Disposal Problems

We carry replacement units on the truck in common horsepower ratings so a same-day swap is possible when the motor has genuinely failed.

🔎

Symptom-Specific Diagnosis

A disposal that hums but won't spin almost always just needs the jam cleared with an Allen wrench at the center socket and the reset button pressed — a 5-minute fix that doesn't require a new unit.

🏷️

All Major Brands Serviced

InSinkErator (Badger, Badger 5, Compact, Evolution series), Moen GXS/GX series, Waste King, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool disposals all mount differently and have specific jam-clearing procedures. We know the mounting assembly for each brand and carry the correct jam-clearing wrench sizes.

Repair vs. Replace — Honest Guidance

We give you the actual cost comparison. If clearing the jam and pressing the reset button fixes it, that's what we do. If the motor has failed, we show you the replacement options and install same-day.

🔧

Full Plumbing Integration Check

A disposal isn't an isolated appliance — it connects to the sink drain, the dishwasher drain (if present), and the drain arm leading to the p-trap. We inspect the full connection set during any disposal call: drain arm slope, dishwasher drain knockout (if a dishwasher is being added), and p-trap connection integrity.

Our Services

Every Garbage Disposal Repair Issue We Handle in Clovis, NM

Most disposal calls complete in 30–60 minutes — same visit, flat-rate pricing.

Jammed

Jam Clearing & Reset

If the jam-clearing wrench won't budge the impeller, the motor shaft may be seized rather than just stuck from debris — we distinguish between the two before recommending replacement.

Won't Start

Reset & Electrical Diagnosis

A disposal that makes no sound when switched on has either tripped its thermal overload protector (the red button on the bottom — press it and try again) or has a wiring issue at the switch or disposal unit. We check the reset button, test for power at the disposal's wire connection, and test the wall switch for continuity.

Leaking

Sink Collar & Connection Leak Repair

We identify the leak source before recommending any repair. A sink collar re-seal is a 30-minute job. A unit with a cracked body has no cost-effective repair and warrants replacement.

Noisy

Noise Diagnosis & Repair

An unusually loud grinding, rattling, or metal-on-metal sound from a disposal almost always means either a hard object (bottle cap, small utensil, pit from stone fruit) is in the grinding chamber, or an impeller piece has broken and is contacting the shredder ring. We access the grinding chamber safely, remove any foreign objects, and inspect the impeller and shredder ring for damage.

Draining

Slow Drain & Drain Line Clearing

A disposal that grinds normally but drains slowly has a blockage in the drain arm or p-trap — not an internal disposal problem. Food particles and grease accumulate in the short drain arm between the disposal outlet and the p-trap. We disconnect and clean the drain arm, clear any p-trap buildup, and reinstall with clean connections.

Replacement

Full Disposal Replacement

Replacement includes: safely disconnecting electrical at the junction box under the sink, removing the old unit and mounting assembly, installing the new unit with correct wiring and plumbing connections, testing for full jam-free operation, and verifying zero leaks at all connections before leaving.

Our Process

How Masters Plumbing Service Handles Garbage Disposal Repair in Clovis, NM

A disposal call takes 30–60 minutes in most cases. Here's exactly how it goes — from your first call to a clean, functional kitchen drain.

Describe the Symptom — We Prep Accordingly

If you know the disposal is over 10 years old, tell us — that changes how we approach the repair-vs-replace conversation upfront.

On-Site Diagnosis — Specific, Fast

For leaks, we dry the area completely and run a short test cycle to confirm exactly which connection is dripping.

Flat-Rate Quote — Repair or Replace

You receive a flat-rate price for the repair option and, if relevant, the replacement option with unit cost included. For a simple jam clear, that's a single, low line item. For a failed motor, we show you the new unit cost and installation price together.

Repair or Install — Test Everything Before Leaving

We leave the cabinet dry and the disposal running quietly. If a dishwasher drain hose was involved, we run a dishwasher cycle to verify no backup occurs.

Customer Reviews

Real Garbage Disposal Repair Reviews from Clovis, NM

★★★★★

Disposal hummed and wouldn't spin. I'd already tried the Allen wrench trick without success. Masters Plumbing Service's tech came out, worked the impeller free from underneath while removing a piece of broken ceramic that had fallen in — it had wedged between the impeller and the grinding ring in a way I couldn't have cleared from the top. Cleared the jam, pressed the reset, tested. Five-minute fix. Honest about the call minimum charge, no attempt to upsell a replacement on a perfectly good motor.

— E. Park, Clovis

★★★★★

Disposal making a loud rattling noise but still grinding. Tech took out a bottle cap that had gotten past the splash guard and was spinning around the grinding chamber. Cleaned out the chamber, confirmed the impeller wasn't damaged, tested for smooth operation. Twenty-minute visit, everything working perfectly.

— J. & L. Maher, Clovis, NM

★★★★★

Old disposal stopped working completely — no hum, nothing. I assumed the motor failed. The tech checked the wiring first — found a loose wire nut at the junction box under the sink that had vibrated loose over the years. Reconnected the wire, reset the overload button, disposal came right on. Would have been embarrassing if I'd bought a replacement unit. Masters Plumbing Service's thoroughness saved me a few hundred dollars.

Common Questions

What to Know Before Calling for Garbage Disposal Repair in Clovis, NM

If the impeller won't free with the Allen wrench — or frees but jams again within days — the disposal may have internal damage (chipped impeller, damaged shredder ring) or a bearing that's beginning to seize. We diagnose this on-site and tell you whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Repair makes sense when: the impeller is jammed by a foreign object, the thermal overload has tripped, there's a loose wiring connection, or the sink collar is leaking from a failed gasket. These are component failures, not motor failures, and they're cost-effective to fix.

Hard pits from peaches, avocados, and cherries are a leading cause of jams — they're harder than the impeller plate.

The inside of the grinding chamber and the underside of the rubber splash guard accumulate food residue that standard dish soap doesn't reach. The most effective cleaning method: disconnect the disposal and clean under the splash guard's rim with a brush and dish soap, then freeze a tray of white vinegar and citric acid solution into ice cubes and run them through the disposal with cold water running.

Well-maintained garbage disposals typically last 10–15 years. InSinkErator's evolution series and other higher-horsepower units with stainless steel grinding components tend toward the high end; entry-level units with less robust construction toward the lower end. Usage frequency, water hardness, and what goes into the disposal all affect longevity.

A plumber handles the plumbing side; if a new electrical circuit or switch is needed, we coordinate with an electrician. Most swap-out replacements where the existing circuit and switch are functional are purely a plumbing call.
