Jammed, humming, leaking, or dead? We get your Denver kitchen back to normal, often the same day.
A broken garbage disposal turns your kitchen into a mess of standing water and food scraps fast. Prime Peak Plumbing fixes the jam, the leak, or the dead motor, and if the unit is past saving, we install a new one that runs quieter and lasts for years.
Some disposal problems you can solve in two minutes without paying anyone. Try these before you call, and if they do not work, we are one call away.
If it hums but will not spin, it is jammed.
If it is completely silent, it lost power.
One rule above all: never put your hand down a disposal, even when it is off. Use pliers or tongs to remove anything stuck.
If it still will not run, leaks, or smells no matter what you do, that is our cue. Call us and we will take it from there.
Disposals give clear signals. Here is what each one usually means, so you know what you are dealing with.
The motor has power but something is jamming the blades. Usually a quick fix, sometimes a worn flywheel.
An electrical problem. A tripped reset button, a flipped breaker, a bad switch, or failed wiring.
A worn seal, a loose mounting, or a cracked body. Small leaks turn into cabinet damage, so do not wait.
Dull grinding plates or a tiring motor, both common as a unit ages.
Food trapped in the chamber. Often just needs a deep clean, sometimes a sign of buildup deeper in the drain.
Something hard is inside, or a part has broken loose. Stop using it and call.
Tell us what your disposal is doing and we can often tell you what to expect before we even arrive.
We fix the whole range of disposal problems for Denver homes and kitchens.
If the same sink keeps backing up after every repair, the trouble is usually further down the system, and that becomes a sewer line repair rather than a disposal job. We check the line below before we quote you.
You do not want to pour money into a dying unit, and you do not need a new one for a simple jam. Here is the rule the pros use.
A repair makes sense when:
A replacement is the smarter buy when:
Most disposals last about ten years. If yours is close and giving trouble, replacing it now saves you from another service call soon. We give you the honest math and let you choose.
Whether you are replacing an old unit or adding your first one, we install it clean, level, and leak free.
Most homes do well with a half to three quarter horsepower unit. Bigger families and heavy cooks get more power.
Disposals mix plumbing and electrical, and we connect both safely and to code.
InSinkErator, Waste King, KitchenAid, Moen, and whatever you bring us.
We run it, check for leaks, and make sure it grinds clean.
A typical install takes about an hour when there are no surprises. If your setup needs new wiring or plumbing changes, we will tell you upfront.
Here is a straight answer so you can plan. Every job is different, but these ranges reflect the Denver area.
What moves the price: the type of problem, the horsepower and brand of the unit, whether the old one needs removal, and whether any wiring or plumbing needs adjusting.
We give you a clear, upfront quote before we start, and there is no charge just to look. Call us for an honest estimate on your exact situation.
Most disposal failures come from what goes into them. Keep these out and your unit will last much longer.
We keep it quick and clear, so you know what is happening the whole time.
Most repairs are done in a single visit, and simple jobs often take under an hour.
When you need a plumber for garbage disposal in Denver, you want it fixed right, fast, and without games. Here is what you get with us.
A dead disposal only gets more annoying, and a small leak under the sink can turn into real damage. Prime Peak Plumbing fixes
it fast, prices it fair, and tells you honestly whether to repair or replace.
It is jammed. The motor has power but something is stopping the blades. Turn off the switch, use the hex wrench in the bottom slot to free it, and try again. If that fails, call us.
It likely lost power. Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit and check your breaker. If it is still dead, the switch or wiring may have failed, which we can repair.
Repair if it is under about eight years old with a minor issue. Replace it if it is near ten years, the motor is gone, or the repair would cost more than half of a new install.
Yes. Bring us any brand and we will install it correctly, connect the wiring safely, and test it before we leave.
Trapped food is rotting inside the chamber. A deep clean usually fixes it. If the smell lingers, there may be buildup deeper in the drain that we can clear.
