FAQs
What signs indicate my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Common red flags include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, repeated tripped breakers, foul odors that won’t rinse away, and unusual noises such as metal-on-metal scraping. If you notice any of these issues, shut off the disposal and call a licensed Athens plumber to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
Do you offer warranties on garbage disposal repairs in Athens?
Yes. All repairs performed by our certified technicians carry a written parts-and-labor warranty—one year for standard repairs and up to five years when we install manufacturer-approved OEM components. If the same issue reoccurs during the warranty period, we will return at no charge to diagnose and fix it, ensuring you’re protected against premature failures.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes, including diagnostic testing, part replacement, and leak checks. Complex issues such as motor replacement or extensive re-piping may take up to three hours. We stock common parts on our service vehicles to minimize delays and offer same-day appointments across the greater Athens area.
Can you repair any brand or model of garbage disposal?
Absolutely. Our plumbers are factory-trained on major brands like InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool, as well as less common or older models. We maintain an extensive parts inventory and have dealer access to discontinued components, allowing us to service virtually any residential or light-commercial disposal unit.
What should I do if my disposal stops working after repair under warranty?
Contact us immediately. Provide the original service date and describe the symptoms; we’ll prioritize a warranty service visit within 24 hours. Do not attempt DIY fixes, as this can void the warranty. Our technician will inspect the unit, correct the problem, and verify operation—all at no additional cost to you.
Is it better to repair or replace my malfunctioning garbage disposal?
We evaluate age, frequency of breakdowns, motor condition, and repair cost. If your unit is under eight years old and the repair is less than half the price of a new disposal, repair is usually the economical choice. For units older than ten years, with rusted chambers, or requiring major motor replacement, we often recommend upgrading to a new, higher-efficiency model that comes with a fresh manufacturer warranty and lower operating noise.
