FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent clogs, humming without grinding, water leaking from the unit or sink flange, foul odors that won’t go away after cleaning, frequent resets, and unusual noises such as metal-on-metal grinding. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call our certified plumbers in Crab Orchard for a thorough inspection and repair.
Can your certified plumbers fix any make or model of garbage disposal in Crab Orchard?
Yes. Our team is trained and certified to service all major brands, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, GE, and others. We carry an extensive inventory of OEM and universal replacement parts, so we can address problems with older or newer units quickly without waiting for special orders.
Is repair always the best option, or should I replace my garbage disposal?
A repair is cost-effective when the unit is under 8–10 years old, the motor is still strong, and the issue involves replaceable components such as a worn gasket, jammed impellers, or a faulty switch. Replacement is usually recommended if the motor is burned out, the grinding chamber is cracked, or repairs would cost more than half the price of a new unit. Our plumbers will provide a clear estimate and honest recommendation tailored to your disposal’s condition and your budget.
What should I do if my garbage disposal suddenly stops working?
First, turn off the unit and avoid putting your hand inside the chamber. Check the reset button (usually a red or black button on the bottom of the disposal) and press it once. Confirm the disposal is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If it still won’t start, call our 24/7 Crab Orchard dispatch line. A certified plumber can arrive promptly, diagnose the issue safely, and restore your disposal without risking electrical shock or further damage.
How quickly can your plumbers reach me in Crab Orchard for an emergency garbage disposal repair?
We provide same-day service and 24-hour emergency response throughout Crab Orchard and surrounding communities. For most calls made before noon, we can have a plumber at your door within 2–4 hours. After-hours and weekend emergencies are typically handled in 1–2 hours, depending on weather and traffic. Our trucks are fully stocked so most repairs are completed in a single visit.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost, and is the work guaranteed?
Standard repairs—such as clearing jams, replacing gaskets, or installing a new switch—generally range from $125 to $250, including parts and labor. More complex repairs, such as motor replacement, can cost $250 to $400. We provide a written, upfront estimate before any work begins. All repairs are backed by a minimum 1-year parts and labor warranty, and new disposals we install carry manufacturer warranties of 3–10 years, depending on the model.
