FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?
Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or under the sink, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, and frequent circuit breaker trips. If you notice any of these issues in your Cosby home, it’s best to call our upgraded unit plumbing team before the motor burns out or a leak causes cabinet damage.
Can I fix my garbage disposal myself, or should I call a professional plumber?
Simple jams can sometimes be cleared by pressing the reset button or manually turning the flywheel with an Allen wrench. However, if the unit hums but won’t spin, leaks, or repeatedly trips the breaker, professional repair is recommended. Our licensed Cosby plumbers can safely diagnose electrical and mechanical faults, replace worn seals, and ensure the unit is reinstalled to code—saving you time, frustration, and potential injury.
How quickly can you respond to a garbage disposal emergency in Cosby?
We offer same-day service for calls received before 2 p.m. and 24/7 emergency dispatch for severe leaks or inoperable disposals causing kitchen downtime. Because our repair vans are stocked with replacement parts, most disposals are fixed on the first visit, restoring your sink to full operation within hours.
Do you repair all brands and models of garbage disposals?
Yes. Our technicians carry factory-authorized parts for leading brands such as InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, and KitchenAid. For discontinued models, we can often retrofit compatible components or recommend an energy-efficient replacement if repair is not cost-effective.
What does garbage disposal repair typically cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?
After a quick on-site evaluation, we present a flat-rate quote that covers labor, parts, and a debris cleanup fee—no hidden surprises. Minor jam removals start around $79, while motor replacements range from $180–$250. All repairs in Cosby include a one-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer part warranties where applicable.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use; feed food scraps slowly rather than all at once; avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), coffee grounds, grease, and expandable starches like pasta; and freshen the unit weekly with ice cubes and citrus peels. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection with our Cosby team also helps catch early wear on seals or wiring, extending the life of your disposal.
