FAQs
How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair instead of full replacement?
Common repair-able issues include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, leaks from the sink flange or discharge tube, and odors that won’t go away after cleaning. If the motor still runs, the unit isn’t cracked, and it’s less than 8–10 years old, a repair is usually the most cost-effective option. Our technician will inspect the unit onsite in Altamont, explain the findings, and let you decide—always with an upfront price for both repair and replacement so there are no surprises.
What does "upfront pricing" mean for garbage disposal repairs?
Upfront pricing means you receive a firm, written quote before any work begins. We diagnose the problem, present a flat-rate price that covers parts, labor, and trip fees, and stick to it. Whether the repair takes 30 minutes or 3 hours, the price you approve is the price you pay. No time-and-materials charges, hidden fees, or weekend surcharges—just honest, transparent pricing for Altamont homeowners.
Are your plumbers licensed and experienced with all major disposal brands?
Yes. All of our Altamont plumbers hold current New York State plumbing licenses, are fully insured, and receive ongoing factory training. We service and stock parts for InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, and other leading brands, including batch-feed and continuous-feed models. This ensures faster repairs and protects your manufacturer warranty whenever possible.
How quickly can you get to my Altamont home if my disposal stops working?
We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday and 24/7 emergency service for severe leaks or backed-up sinks. Calls received before 2 p.m. are typically scheduled for the same day. Our GPS-dispatched vans are based right here in Altamont, so most customers see a technician at their door within a 2-hour arrival window.
Do you provide any warranty on garbage disposal repairs?
Absolutely. All repairs come with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and many manufacturer parts carry longer coverage that we honor. If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we will return and fix it at no charge. You’ll receive a written warranty certificate along with your paid invoice for easy reference.
What maintenance tips can extend the life of my garbage disposal after repair?
Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after grinding, feed food waste slowly, and avoid fibrous items like celery, onion skins, or corn husks. Never pour grease or oil down the drain. Once a month, grind a tray of ice cubes with a handful of rock salt to clean the grinding chamber, followed by citrus peels to freshen the unit. These simple practices reduce jams, prevent odors, and help your newly repaired disposal last longer.
