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.

What Middle Village is built of

Most of the housing here is in buildings rather than houses. That makes the disposal a building fixture in many cases, and makes a recurring clog a building problem rather than a household one.

Whose disposal is it

Start with who maintains it. In an owner-occupied house that is you; in a rental it usually is not.

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.
