Important Details
Repair vs. Replace
Units under 5 years old with a jam or minor leak are usually worth repairing. Units over 8 to 10 years old, or with a failed motor or cracked housing, are generally better replaced. We will give you a straight recommendation.
What Not to Put Down a Disposal
Grease and oils, fibrous vegetables, starchy foods like potato peels and pasta, bones, and fruit pits. These jam impellers or build up in the drain line. Run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal.
The Reset Button
If your disposal suddenly stopped, the reset button on the bottom of the unit may have tripped. Press it firmly, then try the switch. If it trips again immediately, there is a jam or a motor problem.

What Rockwall Homeowners Say
“Disposal humming but not turning. Elite came out, freed the jam, reset it, and tested the drain connection too. Fixed in 30 minutes. Honest about the cost before starting.”
“Old disposal finally died. Elite removed it and installed a new InSinkErator same day. Clean work, no leaks, and it runs quietly. Great experience.”
