FAQs
How is the cost of a garbage disposal repair calculated, and will I see the price before work begins?
We follow a transparent, flat-rate pricing model. After a licensed technician evaluates your garbage disposal on-site, you receive a written quote that lists labor, parts, and any tax—no hidden surcharges or “hourly surprises.” You approve the total before we touch a wrench, and that quoted amount will not change unless you choose additional work.
Do you charge a trip or diagnostic fee to come to my home in Apison?
Yes, we have a modest diagnostic fee that covers travel to any address in the Apison area and a full system inspection. If you proceed with the recommended repair, that fee is automatically credited toward the total cost, making the visit effectively free.
What symptoms tell me my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Common warning signs include humming without spinning, frequent circuit resets, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, persistent odors that cleaning tablets don’t solve, and loud grinding or metal-on-metal noises. If resetting the disposal or clearing obvious obstructions doesn’t fix the issue, call us before the motor burns out or leaks damage cabinetry.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?
Most repairs—such as freeing jammed impellers, replacing worn seals, or installing a new splash guard—are completed in 45–90 minutes. If internal electrical components or the motor need replacement, plan on roughly two hours. We stock common parts on our service trucks to avoid delays.
Can you fix any brand or model, or will I need a replacement unit?
Our technicians are factory-trained on all major brands—including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, and KitchenAid—and carry universal parts that fit 90% of disposals on the market. We repair whenever it’s safe and cost-effective; if the unit is over 10–12 years old or the repair exceeds half the price of a new disposal, we’ll explain your replacement options and exact costs so you can decide.
What maintenance tips will help me avoid future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use; feed food scraps slowly instead of dumping large loads; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, and expandable starches; freshen the unit monthly with ice cubes and a slice of lemon; and press the reset button at the bottom if it stops suddenly. We leave every Apison customer with a printed care sheet and are just a call away for follow-up questions.
