The Wisconsin maker credited with inventing the garbage disposer, with models from basic to quiet, high-power units.
InSinkErator is the Racine, Wisconsin company that popularized the household garbage disposer, and its units are among the most common in Nashville kitchens. Models range from basic batch-feed units to quiet, high-horsepower continuous-feed disposals. Typical service calls include jams, humming without spinning, leaks at the sink flange or drain connection, dead units that need a reset and dishwasher connections that block the drain.
We clear jams safely, reset overloads, check the flange seal, drain connections and dishwasher inlet and test the motor under load. If a leak comes from the body or the motor has failed, we tell you plainly that a new disposal is the better value and, when you agree, install one the same visit.
