What is The Water Works?

The Water Works provides reliable, top-quality plumbing services for both Residential and Commercial customers.

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not turning?

A humming disposal in Rancho Cordova usually means the motor is getting power but the blades are jammed. This is often caused by a hard object — bone, utensil, or hard food — stuck in the grinding chamber. We can usually clear the jam quickly. If the motor has burned out, replacement is the best option.

How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Rancho Cordova?

Garbage disposal repair in Rancho Cordova, California typically ranges from $100 to $250 depending on the issue. Garbage disposal replacement including a new unit runs $200 to $450. We provide flat-rate pricing you approve first before any work begins and carry replacement units on every truck.

Do you offer emergency disposal repair in Rancho Cordova?

While a broken disposal is inconvenient, it's not typically an emergency. We offer same-day and next-day disposal repair throughout Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County. If your disposal is leaking and causing water damage, give us a call promptly and we'll prioritize your call.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

If your disposal in Rancho Cordova is less than 8 years old and the problem is a jam or clog, repair is usually worth it. If the disposal is older, leaking from the body, or the motor has failed, replacement is typically more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on the unit's age and condition.

What garbage disposal brands do you install in Rancho Cordova?

We install and service all major garbage disposal brands including Insinkerator, Waste King, Moen, and GE. We carry common replacement units on every truck and can recommend models based on your household size, usage, and budget. We do not mark up the cost of the unit — you pay what we pay from the supplier.

How long does disposal replacement take?

Most garbage disposal replacements in Rancho Cordova take 45 to 90 minutes. We carry common replacement units on every truck, so we can often complete the replacement the same visit. We handle the electrical connection, mounting, and drain connections, and we test for leaks before we leave.
