FAQs
What types of garbage disposal problems do you repair in Church Hill?
Our licensed plumbers handle everything from jammed or humming units and severe clogs to leaks, worn-out seals, broken impellers, electrical issues, and complete motor failures. Whether your disposal simply won’t turn on or is backing up into the sink, we have the specialty tools and experience to diagnose and fix the problem quickly.
Can you unclog my garbage disposal without removing it?
In many cases, yes. We carry purpose-built disposal wrenches, flexible augers, and inspection cameras that let us clear blockages from both the grinding chamber and the connected drain line without dismantling the unit. If the clog is deeper in the drain or the disposal’s interior is damaged, partial or full removal may be necessary, but we always try the least invasive approach first.
How long does a typical garbage disposal repair visit take?
Most repairs in Church Hill are completed in 60–90 minutes, including troubleshooting, part replacement, and function testing. Complex issues like severe corrosion, cracked housings, or drain pipe reconfiguration can extend the visit, but we stock common parts on our service vans to minimize delays.
What should I do before you arrive to repair my disposal?
Turn off power to the disposal at the wall switch and, if possible, at the circuit breaker to ensure safety. Do not continue running the unit or place chemical drain cleaners in the sink; these can damage components and create hazards for our technicians. Clearing out items stored under the sink gives us room to access plumbing and wiring quickly.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace a garbage disposal?
If your unit is less than 7–10 years old and the motor, chamber, and bearings are in good shape, repairs such as replacing the splash guard, jammed flywheel, or worn gasket are usually economical. However, if the motor is burnt out, the unit leaks from multiple points, or it’s nearing the end of its life span, replacement may save you money long-term. During our inspection we’ll provide a transparent quote for both options so you can decide with confidence.
Do you offer any warranty or guarantee on garbage disposal repairs?
Yes. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and parts are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 1–5 years, depending on the component). If the same issue reoccurs within the covered period, we’ll return to your Church Hill home at no additional service charge to make it right.
