FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my garbage disposal repair in Belvidere?
Up-front pricing means you’ll know the exact cost of the repair before any work begins. Once our technician diagnoses the issue, you receive a written quote that covers parts, labor, and tax—no hidden fees or overtime charges, even if the job takes longer than expected.
How quickly can you get a technician to my Belvidere home?
For most calls placed before noon, we can offer same-day service within Belvidere and surrounding Boone County neighborhoods. If you schedule later in the day, we typically have next-morning appointments available. Emergency after-hours service is also offered for severe leaks or complete disposal failures.
What are the most common reasons a garbage disposal stops working?
The issues we see most often include jammed impellers from fibrous foods, burnt-out motors caused by overloading, failed reset buttons or overload protectors, and leaking seals or gaskets. Our technicians carry replacement parts on the truck to resolve 90% of these problems in a single visit.
Can I try to fix the disposal myself before calling you?
You can safely press the reset button on the bottom of the unit and use a hex (Allen) wrench in the flywheel socket to free minor jams—always with the power off. If the disposal still hums, leaks, trips breakers, or is completely dead, further DIY attempts could worsen damage or void manufacturer warranties. At that point, it’s best to schedule professional service.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?
Most repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing a worn splash guard, or installing a new flywheel—take 45–90 minutes. Complex tasks like full motor replacement or correcting drain-pipe misalignment can extend the visit to 2–3 hours. Because of our up-front pricing, the cost stays the same no matter how long it takes.
Do you guarantee your garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, and any new parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty (usually one to five years). If the same issue reappears during the warranty period, we return to fix it at no additional charge.
