FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Look for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the bottom or side of the unit, foul odors that don’t go away after cleaning, tripped breakers every time you switch the disposal on, or poor drainage in the sink. Any of these issues can point to worn-out seals, a jammed flywheel, motor failure, or damage to the grinding chamber—problems that a licensed HEP Plumbing technician can accurately diagnose and fix.
Does HEP Plumbing provide same-day garbage disposal repair in Cowan?
Yes. Because we keep fully stocked service vans in the Cowan area, we can usually dispatch a technician the same day you call—often within a few hours. If you contact us before noon, same-day service is nearly guaranteed. For late-day calls we schedule the next available appointment first thing the following morning.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and will I get an upfront estimate?
Most minor repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing gaskets, or resetting the overload protector—range from $99 to $175. More complex work like motor replacement or leak remediation can run $200–$350, depending on parts and labor. Before we begin any repair, your HEP Plumbing technician performs a full diagnostic and provides a written, flat-rate quote so you know the exact cost ahead of time. No work starts until you authorize the price.
Can HEP Plumbing service any brand or model, or should I purchase a new disposal first?
Our team is trained to repair all major disposal brands, including InSinkErator, KitchenAid, Moen, Waste King, and GE, as well as less common units sold at big-box stores. We carry universal replacement parts on the truck and can usually restore your existing unit to full operation. If the disposal is more than 10–12 years old or the repair cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new model, we will explain your options and, if you choose replacement, apply the diagnostic fee toward a new installation.
What maintenance tips can help me avoid future garbage disposal problems?
Run cold water for 15–30 seconds before and after each use to flush the line, avoid pouring grease or fibrous foods (celery, corn husks, potato peels) down the unit, cut large scraps into smaller pieces, and periodically grind a few ice cubes with a slice of lemon to clean the blades and freshen the chamber. Scheduling an annual plumbing inspection with HEP Plumbing also lets us spot early wear before it turns into an urgent repair.
What if my disposal fails after business hours—do you offer emergency service in Cowan?
Absolutely. HEP Plumbing operates a 24/7 emergency hotline for Cowan residents. A live dispatcher will assess the situation and send an on-call technician if the issue poses a risk of flooding, sewage backup, or kitchen downtime you can’t afford. Emergency rates apply outside normal hours, but you will still receive a firm, upfront quote, and all work is covered by our standard labor and parts warranty.
