Commercial Garbage Disposal Repair in Philadelphia
A jammed or leaking disposal backs up the whole dish pit. I clear the jam, find why it happened, and fix the motor, seal and control faults that keep commercial disposals from turning, so your sink line keeps moving.
Under-sink, trough and pulper systems. InSinkErator, Salvajor, Hobart, Waste King and more.
Clear the jam, and keep it from coming back
When a commercial disposal quits, it's usually a jam, a tripped overload, a failed motor, or a leak at the seals or plumbing. I clear it, check the motor and the reset, look at how it's fed and drained, and tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing or the unit's reached the end. On trough and pulper systems I check the pumps, water feed and controls too.
One tech, a written quote before any work, and OEM parts.

Why kitchens call me for disposals
Fix the cause, not just the jam
I clear it and figure out why it jammed, so you're not calling back next week.
The quoted price is the price
A written number before any work. It doesn't move between the visit and the invoice.
