What We Handle

We work on disposals of every age and brand, whether the fix is a five-minute reset or a full swap-out:

  • Jammed disposals — something's lodged under the impeller and the motor can't turn
  • Humming or buzzing units that won't grind (usually a stuck flywheel or seized motor)
  • Leaks under the sink, from the sink flange, the discharge pipe, or a cracked housing
  • Persistent odors that won't go away with soap and hot water
  • Disposal replacement and upgrades to a properly sized, better-built unit
  • New installation for a kitchen that's never had one

Signs Your Disposal Needs Attention

  • It hums or clicks but the blades don't spin
  • Water pools under the sink after you run it
  • It trips the reset button repeatedly
  • Smells linger even after you've run ice and citrus through it
  • It grinds slower than it used to, or takes multiple passes to clear food
  • It's original to the house and pushing 10-15 years old

A lot of homes in this part of Anoka County still have the builder-grade disposal that went in when the house was built. Those units were fine for their time, but they're smaller-horsepower and not built to last forever. If yours is original to the house, a repair might buy you time, but an upgrade to a properly sized unit often makes more sense long-term.

Why Coon Rapids Homeowners Choose Flowmaster

Flowmaster Plumbing is owner-operated — Yuriy Timoshenko is on the job, not just running the business from a desk. We're licensed and insured, BBB accredited with an A- rating, and we price the job before we touch anything. You're not getting a rotating cast of subcontractors or a bill that changes after the work's done. You're getting a plumber who has to answer for his own work, because he does.

What Should (and Shouldn't) Go Down a Disposal

Disposals handle soft food scraps, small bits of cooked food, and light rinse waste fine. They don't handle:

  • Grease or cooking oil (it congeals in the line and clogs downstream)
  • Fibrous vegetables like celery, corn husks, or onion skins
  • Coffee grounds and eggshells in large quantities
  • Bones, pits, or anything hard
  • Pasta, rice, or starchy foods that expand
  • Non-food items, obviously, but it happens more than you'd think

If you're not sure whether your current setup can handle your household's use, that's part of what we look at during a sizing conversation for a new install or replacement, see our Faucet & Fixture Repair page.

Our Process

Our Process

  1. Diagnose. We check the flywheel, motor, seals, and connections to find the actual cause instead of guessing.
  2. Quote it up front. You'll know the repair or replacement cost before any work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
  3. Fix or replace. Simple jams and resets get cleared on the spot. If the unit's done, we'll walk you through sizing and options for a replacement.
  4. Install and seal correctly. Proper sizing and a correctly sealed mounting assembly are what actually prevent the next leak. We test it running before we leave.
  5. Stand behind it. Our work comes with a satisfaction guarantee.

If your sink is also dealing with slow drainage that's unrelated to the disposal itself, that's usually a separate issue our Drain Cleaning page covers, worth checking at the same time.

FAQs

Questions We Hear Most

How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Coon Rapids?

It depends on whether the unit needs a simple fix, like clearing a jam or resetting the motor, or a full replacement. We give you a firm price before any work begins, so there's no guessing.

Can a humming disposal be fixed, or does it need replacing?

Often it can be fixed. A hum with no spinning usually means the flywheel is jammed or the motor has seized, both of which are frequently repairable. If the motor itself has burned out, replacement is the better move.

Why is there a leak under my disposal?

Leaks usually come from a worn seal at the sink flange, a loose connection at the discharge pipe, or a cracked housing on an older unit. We check all three during a diagnosis.

How long does a disposal replacement take?

A straightforward swap typically takes under two hours, including removing the old unit, installing and sealing the new one, and testing it.

Do you install disposals in homes that never had one?

Yes. We handle new installations, including checking your electrical and plumbing setup to make sure everything's compatible before we mount the unit.
