Score is Grade A Plumber's own 0–1,000 rating, computed from review quality and volume, recent activity, owner replies and a verified Michigan licence. Google ratings and counts are shown as reported by Google and are not this site's own rating. A green ✓ means we matched the company to a current Michigan plumbing licence; “verify” means it is not in our register extract yet — check the state record. A blank is not a claim that a company is unlicensed.
What to know about garbage disposal work in Michigan
A disposal that only hums has a jammed flywheel — cut the power at the switch and breaker before anyone reaches under the sink. A disposal that leaks from the bottom seal is replaced, not repaired. [Basic electrical and appliance safety practice]
Disposal and kitchen-drain work is plumbing work under the Michigan Plumbing Code and should be done by a licensed plumber when the drain or wiring is involved. [LARA Bureau of Construction Codes]
Common questions
My disposal just hums — can I fix it?
Often yes: turn off the power, free the jam with the hex wrench in the bottom socket, then press the red reset button. If it still will not turn or it leaks, call a plumber.
Repair or replace?
A jam or a stuck reset is a repair. A leak from the body, a worn motor, or a unit over about ten years old is usually a replacement — cheaper than repeated service calls.
