FAQs
How can I tell whether my garbage disposal needs repair or a full replacement?
Common signs your unit needs professional attention include frequent jams, loud grinding or rattling noises, persistent odors that don’t wash away, leaking from the bottom or side, and the motor failing to start or cutting off mid-cycle. Our technicians will inspect the unit, check the motor windings, flywheel, seals, and electrical connections, and let you know if a cost-effective repair is possible or if a replacement is the smarter long-term solution.
What types of garbage disposal problems can Honest Workmanship Plumbing fix?
We handle every disposal issue you’re likely to face in Clinton, including jammed impellers, worn-out splash guards, cracked or leaking housings, loose mounting assemblies, damaged drain connections, tripped overload switches, electrical wiring faults, and burnt-out motors. We carry quality replacement parts on our service trucks so most fixes can be completed in one visit.
How soon can you repair my garbage disposal in Clinton?
Because we’re a local, family-owned company, we offer same-day or next-day appointments throughout Clinton and the surrounding neighborhoods. Emergency calls placed before noon are often resolved the same afternoon. We also provide two-hour arrival windows and call or text when we’re on the way, so you’re never left waiting and guessing.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician at Honest Workmanship Plumbing holds a current Maryland journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and passes annual background and drug screenings. We arrive in branded vehicles, wear ID badges, and treat your home with respect—shoe covers on, drop cloths down, and a complete cleanup before we leave.
What will garbage disposal repair cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Most repairs fall between $125 and $275, depending on the model, age, and parts required. You’ll receive a written, flat-rate quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises. If the repair would cost more than 50-60% of a new disposal, we’ll explain your replacement options and credit the diagnostic fee toward the install if you choose a new unit through us.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems after the repair?
Run a steady stream of cold water before, during, and 10–15 seconds after grinding. Feed food waste slowly rather than all at once. Avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable starches like rice or pasta. Once a month, grind a handful of ice cubes and a citrus peel to clean the chamber and freshen odors. Finally, never use chemical drain cleaners in a disposal; if it slows down, call us for a quick tune-up instead.
