If Your Waste Disposal Is Jammed or Leaking

Make it safe

Switch off power at the wall switch / fused spur. Do not use the unit until checked.

Keep hands out

Never put hands into the disposal. Use professional diagnosis for jams and internal faults.

Stop the leak source

If safe, avoid running water and place a bowl underneath. We’ll trace the leak to the exact joint or seal.

Safety-first guidance Accurate diagnosis Tidy repair

Common Food Waste Disposal Faults We Fix

Humming / Jammed

Motor hums but impellers won’t spin — typically a jam, overload, or internal wear requiring safe intervention.

No power / trips

Switch faults, spur issues, wiring or internal electrical faults tested safely and corrected.

Leaks

Sink flange seals, tailpiece joints, trap alignment, dishwasher inlet connections and outlet pipework leaks.

Slow draining

Blockages in discharge pipework, partial obstructions, or incorrect setup causing backup and odours.

Replacement & install

If repair isn’t worthwhile, we can replace with a suitable Maxmatic-compatible unit and commission safely.

Set-up optimisation

We check fittings, clamps, alignment, and practical use guidance to prevent repeat issues.

How Your Booking Works

1) Tell us the symptoms

“Humming”, “leaking”, “won’t start”, or “slow drain” helps us arrive prepared.

2) Confirm model details

If available, share the disposal brand/model family (e.g., Maxmatic 3000/4000/5000 series).

3) We diagnose, then proceed

We identify the cause, confirm costs, and complete the repair or replacement with minimal disruption.
