Downtown Milpitas has some of the city's oldest housing stock, often with a plumbing history spanning several past updates. Disposal issues here are often a simple jam or reset, not an automatic replacement.
Many issues are a jam or a tripped reset switch — we check this before anything else.

We run water and test grinding before considering the job complete.
Licensed and local, with emergency plumbing calls answered 24/7 — plus a free estimate and written quote before any work starts.

Yes, as long as it's compatible with your sink and electrical setup.
