A humming disposal is usually jammed, and a silent one has often tripped its reset. Leaks at the top flange, side connection or bottom of the housing tell you what failed: bottom leaks usually mean the unit is done. Replacing a disposal includes checking the switch, the drain connection and the dishwasher hookup.

Half of the homes in Fellows were built before about 1938. Houses from that era often still have galvanized steel water lines, which rust from the inside and choke flow, along with cast iron and clay drains that are near the end of their service life.

Around Fellows, garbage disposal repair and installation typically runs about $200 to $755, before any permit, wall or slab access, or repairs to finishes. Plumbers cover Fellows and nearby Ford City and Taft Heights.
