FAQs
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair in all Charleston neighborhoods?
Yes. Our plumbers are dispatched from multiple locations throughout the Charleston metro, including Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, North Charleston, James Island, and Daniel Island. As long as you call before 2:00 PM, we can usually have a licensed technician at your door the very same day.
What common garbage disposal problems can you fix during a same-day visit?
Our technicians arrive with fully stocked service vans, allowing us to handle most issues on the spot. These include units that won’t turn on, humming motors, jammed impellers, frequent resets, foul odors, leaks under the sink, and poor grinding performance. If replacement is more cost-effective, we can install a new disposal during the same appointment.
How much does a typical garbage disposal repair cost in Charleston?
For straightforward repairs such as freeing a jam or replacing a splash guard, the cost generally ranges between $145 and $225. More involved work, like swapping out a failed motor or installing a new disposal, can run $250–$475 plus the price of the unit. We provide a written, upfront quote after inspecting the problem so you know the exact cost before we begin.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Turn off the disposal at the wall switch and, if possible, unplug it or switch off the breaker to prevent accidental activation. Avoid using the sink for food prep and do not pour chemical drain cleaners into the unit—they can damage the components and create a safety hazard for our plumber.
Will repairing my garbage disposal void its manufacturer warranty?
No. Our plumbers follow factory-approved repair procedures and use OEM or equivalent parts that maintain your warranty coverage. If your disposal is still under warranty, let us know when you schedule—our office can verify coverage and handle the claim paperwork for you.
Can you help me decide whether to repair or replace my garbage disposal?
Absolutely. During diagnosis we evaluate the unit’s age, motor condition, overall wear, and the cost of parts. If repairs exceed 50% of the price of a new, energy-efficient disposal, we usually recommend replacement. We carry several in-stock models and can install a new unit on the same visit if you choose to upgrade.
