Garbage Disposal Services in Point Loma, CA

‍

Got a jammed, humming, or dead garbage disposal? Life gets messy fast without it. Meals come to a halt, the sink backs up, and that lingering odor isn’t going anywhere. That’s where we step in. At John Padilla Plumbing, we fix and replace garbage disposals for Point Loma homeowners with speed, precision, and zero fuss.

Whether you’re hearing strange grinding, dealing with slow draining, or just ready for a new unit with more horsepower, we’ve got you covered. We know the frustration that comes with disposal issues—and how great it feels to have it running like new again.

Why Garbage Disposals Break Down

Garbage disposals are workhorses, but even they have limits. Common causes of failure include:

• Overloading the unit with fibrous or starchy foods
  
• Motor burnout from improper use
  
• Worn-out blades or mechanical jamming
  

If your disposal isn’t turning on, making weird noises, or constantly clogging the sink, it might be time for a repair—or even a replacement.

Full-Service Garbage Disposal Repairs and Replacements

From quick fixes to full installations, we do it all. We at John Padilla Plumbing have worked on every make and model. Whether you’re using an older unit or upgrading to something powerful and quiet, you can count on us to:

• Diagnose the issue on the spot
  
• Offer straight answers (not sales pitches)
  
• Repair or install efficiently—without leaving a mess behind
  

If your disposal is leaking underneath the sink or tripping your circuit breaker, don’t wait. These can be signs of more serious electrical or plumbing issues, and we’re trained to handle both.
