Garbage Disposal Repair in Lake Zurich, IL
In Lake Zurich the disposal under the sink is almost always the household's own machine, on a drain line nobody else uses. 88% of the housing here is detached houses, and that is what decides who arranges the repair and who pays.
The quick answer
In Lake Zurich, 88% of housing units are detached houses. A disposal in a detached house is normally the owner's to repair, on a drain line nobody else shares, so the question of who is responsible rarely arises at all.

What Lake Zurich is built of
Detached houses dominate here, so the machine, the trap and the branch drain all belong to the same household. A recurring blockage points at what goes into it, not at a neighbor.

That is 39 points higher than Illinois as a whole, so the state pattern would mislead you about this town.
The Census counts this one across all housing units, vacant ones included, so read it as the shape of the local building stock.
Whose disposal is it
Work out who is responsible before you call anyone. Owners call contractors; tenants call the landlord, and doing it the other way round costs money.
Then the symptom, and they are unusually distinct: dead silence, a hum with no grind, water underneath, or a smell that will not go.
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.
