NYC Pros for Disposal Repairs & Upgrades

Common problems include humming but not grinding, frequent clogs, foul odors, and under-sink leaks. We troubleshoot switches, reset buttons, impellers, splash guards, and mounting rings; when replacement is smarter, we size the right horsepower and sound insulation for your kitchen.

Repair, Replacement, and New Installations

Whether your existing unit is seized, leaking at the flange, or tripping a GFCI, Franco Belli restores function quickly. For new installs, we confirm sink and trap compatibility, set anti-vibration mounts, connect the dishwasher discharge, and test for quiet, smooth operation.

Same-Day Help for Leaks and Jams

  • Are disposals allowed in NYC apartments?

    Many co-ops/condos allow them, but some boards restrict. We’ll follow your building rules and provide documentation if needed.

  • Do I need an air gap for my dishwasher line?

    Buildings often require one. We install air gaps or high-loop configurations to prevent cross-contamination.

  • What horsepower should I choose?

    1/2 HP works for light use; 3/4–1 HP is quieter and better for families. We’ll recommend based on space, usage, and sound goals.

  • Can you install a unit I bought?

    Yes, if it’s compatible with your sink, trap layout, and building policies. We’ll verify and advise before installation.

  • Why does my disposal keep clogging?

    Often trap geometry, low water flow, or dull impellers. We correct drain layout and review usage to stop repeat clogs.

  • Who handles electrical work?

    We check the switch and GFCI; if new wiring is required, we can coordinate a licensed electrician for a safe, compliant hookup.
