FAQs
What are the most common signs that I need professional garbage disposal repair?
Watch for humming with no grinding, repeated tripped breakers, water leaking from the unit or sink cabinet, persistent odors that cleaning won’t remove, and disposal blades that spin slowly or not at all. If resetting the unit or clearing obvious obstructions doesn’t solve the issue, it’s time to call our Chattanooga-based plumbers for a diagnostic visit. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to motor burn-out or drain line damage.
Do you provide same-day garbage disposal repair service in Chattanooga?
Yes. For customers within the greater Chattanooga area, we offer same-day and emergency appointments Monday through Saturday. Calls received before noon are almost always serviced the same day. Our fully stocked service vans carry the most common disposal motors, flanges, gaskets, and electrical parts, allowing most repairs to be finished in a single visit.
What does your 100 % satisfaction guarantee include?
Our guarantee covers the quality of parts, workmanship, and overall customer experience. If the repaired disposal fails within one year due to the same issue, we return and fix it at no additional cost. We also guarantee punctual service (or we waive the trip fee), thorough cleanup of your kitchen work area, and courteous communication from every team member. If we fall short on any of these points, just let us know and we’ll make it right.
How much will garbage disposal repair cost, and will I get an upfront price?
Most repairs fall between $125 and $250, depending on whether we’re replacing a flange seal, resetting a jammed motor, correcting faulty wiring, or installing a new grinding chamber. Before any work begins, your technician performs a full inspection and provides a written, flat-rate quote. That price won’t change even if the job takes longer than expected, and there are no hidden trip or disposal fees.
Is it better to repair or replace a failing garbage disposal?
If the unit is under eight years old and the motor housing is intact, repairs such as jam clearing, switch replacement, or seal changes are usually cost-effective. However, chronic leaks from the grinding chamber, repeated circuit trips, or a seized motor on an older unit often make replacement the smarter long-term choice. We’ll review options and costs on-site so you can decide with confidence.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems after the repair?
Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after each use to flush debris, avoid fibrous foods (corn husks, celery strings), don’t pour grease or coffee grounds down the drain, feed scraps gradually rather than all at once, and refresh the grinder monthly with ice cubes and a small amount of dish soap. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection with our Chattanooga team also helps spot wear early and keeps your satisfaction guarantee intact.
