(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 Trophy Club, from Trophy Club Plaza and the SH 114 corridor to Hogan’s Glen, Eagles Ridge and The Highlands.
Business Profile

Garbage disposal repair in Trophy Club often comes down to age and habits. A sink in one of the 1978 or 1979 houses along Trophy Club Drive, or in a 1998 Lakes of Trophy Club home, may already be on its second or third disposal. Even a sturdy unit eventually wears out, and the first signs are usually slower grinding, a leak at the bottom of the housing or a hum without motion.
Busy households with children, which make up nearly half of Trophy Club’s homes, put a lot of scraps down the drain, along with the extra load from backyard cookouts. Fibrous peels, grease, bones and coffee grounds cause most jams. Run cold water before and after grinding, feed scraps slowly and never put grease down the drain. If the unit hums, cut power at the switch and do not reach into the chamber by hand.
Our Plano-based technicians cover Trophy Club from Trophy Club Plaza and the State Highway 114 and Trophy Club Drive corridors to the original sections around the country club, Hogan’s Glen, Eagles Ridge, The Highlands and the Trophy Club Park area.

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 Trophy Club.

Often, yes. Cut the power at the switch, then free the flywheel by turning a hex wrench in the slot underneath the unit. Press the reset button and try again. If it still hums or trips the reset quickly, the motor or bearings may be failing. Never reach into the chamber with your hand.
Water dripping from the underside of the housing usually means the internal seals are gone, and replacement is typically the answer. Leaks from the side may come from the dishwasher drain connection or the discharge pipe and are usually repairable. Put a towel under the unit, note where the drip starts and call for a diagnosis.
Yes. Some larger Trophy Club kitchens have a second disposal under a prep or bar sink, and these units can jam or leak just like the main one. Tell us which sink is affected and whether the unit runs, hums or stays silent, so we can bring the right parts and give you an estimate before any work.
