FAQs
How do I know your technician is background-checked and qualified to repair my garbage disposal?
Every plumber we send to your Church Hill home has passed a nationwide criminal background screening and drug test, holds a valid Virginia plumbing license, and receives ongoing manufacturer-approved training on all major garbage disposal brands. We are happy to show you proof of credentials and badges on request.
What garbage disposal problems can you fix?
Our technicians repair all common disposal issues, including jams, humming but not grinding, leaks at the sink flange or discharge tube, tripped reset buttons, foul odors, slow drainage, and complete motor failure. We service Insinkerator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, GE, and other leading units.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the wall switch that powers the disposal and avoid putting additional food waste down the drain. Clear items from under the sink to give the technician easy access, and have the unit’s model number handy if possible. No need to disassemble anything—our technician will handle all diagnostics safely.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair take?
Most repairs are completed in 45–90 minutes, including troubleshooting, part replacement, and testing. Complex issues such as motor replacement or extensive leak repair can take up to two hours, but we stock common parts on the service truck to keep visits efficient.
Will I need a replacement disposal or can you repair the existing one?
About 70% of the disposals we examine in Church Hill can be repaired cost-effectively—usually by freeing a jam, replacing a gasket, or installing a new turntable, splash guard, or flywheel. If the motor is burned out or the housing is cracked, we’ll give you upfront pricing for both repair and replacement so you can choose the best value.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost and do you guarantee the work?
Diagnostic service starts at $59, which is waived with any repair. Most standard repairs range from $125 to $275, parts and labor included. We provide written, no-surprise estimates before work begins. All repairs are backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and our background-checked technicians respect your home by wearing shoe covers and cleaning up after themselves.
