(469) 638-3215Garbage disposal humming, jammed, leaking or won’t turn on? ALAS Appliance Repair repairs and replaces continuous-feed, batch-feed and air-switch disposals across Colleyville, from the Village at Colleyville and the SH 26 corridor to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates and Whittier Heights.
Business Profile

In Woodland Hills, which finished building out around 1997, and in neighboring 1990s subdivisions, many kitchens are on their second or third disposal, but the sink flanges, drain arms and dishwasher connections are often original. A new disposal mounted on worn fittings can still leak. Where the water appears tells you a lot: drips at the top suggest the sink flange seal, a trickle along the side often comes from the dishwasher hose or drain arm, and water from the bottom means the housing has cracked.
Estate kitchens in Colleyville often add an island prep sink with a second disposal, and some have a separate bar sink with its own unit. If the motor hums but nothing turns, switch the unit off and kill its power, then rotate the hex key in the socket underneath until the flywheel frees up, and press reset. Never put a hand inside. Fibrous scraps, grease and fruit pits cause most jams. Hardwired units and wall switch problems should be handled by a technician.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Colleyville from the Village at Colleyville and the Colleyville Boulevard, Glade Road and Hall-Johnson Road corridors to Montclair Parc, Ross Downs Estates, Highland Meadows, Whittier Heights and the Reserve at Colleyville.

Urgent repair
A leaking disposal can soak the sink cabinet and floor, and a burning smell means the motor or wiring is overheating. Take these steps while you wait. After-hours emergency service is available for an added fee in Colleyville.

Sometimes they share a drain line farther down, and a partial clog there can push water up into the lower or slower sink. Run each disposal with cold water separately and see which one backs up. A shared clog usually needs the drain cleared, not a new disposal. We look at both units and the drain layout together.
Yes. The Village at Colleyville includes condominiums built around 2004, and their kitchens often have compact under-sink spaces shared with water filters or hot water dispensers. Tell us the unit number, the parking and access instructions, and anything else under the sink. We check the flange and drain connections so the new disposal fits cleanly.
Frequent jams, slow grinding and a disposal that stalls on normal scraps are common signs. Many builder-grade units are low horsepower, while busy kitchens may do better with a stronger model. Running cold water before, during and after grinding helps any size. If yours struggles with everyday use, we can talk through replacement options during the visit.
