SinkGrind is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Counted over housing units including vacant ones — the correct universe for a question about building type, and a different one from a household count.

Whose disposal is it

The ownership question comes first. A disposal in a rented apartment is normally the building's to repair, and the tenancy usually says so.

The symptom does most of the diagnosis here. A motor that hums without turning is the most common call and often the easiest thing to clear.

And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
