FAQs
What are the most common signs my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Typical red flags include persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and frequent circuit breaker trips. If you experience any of these issues in your Calhoun home, it’s best to call our certified plumbers for a thorough inspection before the problem worsens.
How quickly can your Calhoun plumbers repair or replace a faulty garbage disposal?
In most cases we provide same-day service within Calhoun city limits and nearby communities. Repairs typically take 60–90 minutes once we arrive, while a full replacement can be completed in about 2 hours, assuming compatible electrical and plumbing connections are already in place.
What items should never be put into my garbage disposal to avoid future repairs?
Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), starchy items (potato peels, rice, pasta), hard objects (bones, fruit pits), grease or oil, coffee grounds, eggshell membranes, and non-food items. These materials can wrap around the impellers, solidify inside the drain, or dull the grinding components, leading to jams or motor burnout.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Calhoun?
Minor repairs such as jam clearing or flange reseating generally range from $95–$150. More complex issues like motor or wiring replacement can run $200–$400. If the unit is beyond repair, a new disposal (including parts and labor) usually costs between $325 and $550. We provide upfront, flat-rate quotes before any work begins.
Can I perform garbage disposal maintenance myself to extend its lifespan?
Yes. Run cold water before, during, and after use to help flush debris. Grind small ice cubes with a few citrus peels monthly to clean the chamber and reduce odors. Periodically pour a half-cup of baking soda followed by one cup of white vinegar down the disposal, let it fizz for 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water. Never use harsh chemical drain cleaners—they can damage seals and corrode metal parts.
Do your garbage disposal repairs come with any warranty or guarantee?
Absolutely. All repair labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and any new parts we install are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years). If a problem we repaired reoccurs within the warranty period, our Calhoun plumbers will return at no additional cost to make it right.
