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.

Against New Jersey as a whole that is 11 points lower — a real gap rather than a rounding one.

Counted over housing units including vacant ones — the correct universe for a question about building type, and a different one from a household count.

Whose disposal is it

Establish responsibility first. In rented housing the disposal is generally a fixture the landlord maintains.

Then the behavior: no response, seized, dripping. Only one of those is urgent.

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.
