The garbage disposal is a modern marvel—until it isn’t. One minute you’re happily rinsing dinner plates, and the next, you’re met with a ominous hum followed by silence, or worse, a sink full of murky, food-flecked water that refuses to drain.

Before you call a plumber (and spend a minimum of $150), take a deep breath. In most cases, you can clear a garbage disposal yourself in under 15 minutes with tools you already own.
