FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Frequent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaks under the sink, persistent foul odors, or the unit refusing to turn on are all indicators that something is wrong. If you notice any of these issues, turn the disposal off, avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, and call our Clinton plumbing team for a diagnostic visit.
How does your up-front pricing for garbage disposal repair work?
Before any work begins, our technician performs a thorough inspection to pinpoint the problem. We then present you with a flat, itemized quote that covers labor, parts, and tax—no hidden fees, overtime premiums, or surprise add-ons. You approve the price in writing before we start, so you always know exactly what the repair will cost.
Do you service all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers carry parts and specialty tools for every major brand—InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, KitchenAid, GE, and more. Whether your unit is a compact 1/3-HP model or a heavy-duty 1-HP continuous-feed disposer, we can diagnose, service, or replace it the same day in most cases.
What should I do if my garbage disposal stops working before your plumber arrives?
First, turn the power switch off and unplug the unit (or shut off the breaker) to prevent accidental starts. Check for a simple jam: use a wooden spoon handle to gently rotate the impeller from the sink opening, never your hand. Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit once. If it still won’t work, avoid further DIY fixes—leaving it off protects the motor and reduces the risk of leaks until our technician gets there.
Will I need a full replacement, or can the disposal usually be repaired?
Roughly 70 % of the disposals we inspect in Clinton only require affordable repairs—such as jam removal, seal replacement, or wiring fixes. If the motor is burned out, the housing is cracked, or the unit is over 10 years old, replacement is typically more cost-effective. We’ll explain both options up front and let you decide; if you choose replacement, we credit the diagnostic fee toward the new installation.
How fast can you get a plumber to my home in Clinton for garbage disposal repair?
We offer same-day appointments Monday through Saturday and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or complete kitchen sink backups. Most customers receive service within a 2-hour arrival window. Our fully stocked service vehicles allow us to complete 90 % of repairs on the spot, so you can get back to cooking and cleaning with minimal downtime.
