FAQs
What are the most common signs that my garbage disposal needs professional repair?
If your unit hums but won’t grind, trips the reset button repeatedly, leaks from the bottom or mounting ring, emits persistent odors despite cleaning, or creates loud metallic noises, it’s time to call a professional. These symptoms often indicate jammed impellers, worn bearings, a burnt-out motor, or failed seals that require an experienced plumber’s attention.
How quickly can your background-checked plumbers get to my home in Crossville?
Because we keep a dedicated Crossville service team on call, most emergency garbage-disposal repairs can be scheduled the same day—often within 2–4 hours of your request. For non-urgent visits, we offer convenient two-hour appointment windows Monday through Saturday, so you never have to wait around all day.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace a malfunctioning garbage disposal?
Our technicians begin with a full diagnostic. If the motor, grinding plate, or chamber is damaged and the unit is older than 7–10 years, replacement is usually the smarter investment. However, issues like jammed blades, loose wiring, worn splash guards, or gasket leaks are generally inexpensive to repair, extending the life of the disposal for years at a fraction of replacement cost.
What exactly is included in your garbage disposal repair service and how much does it cost?
Service includes a 15-point inspection of electrical connections, drive motor, impellers, seals, and drain lines; clearing jams; replacing worn gaskets; resetting the overload; leak testing; and a safety performance check. Most repairs fall in the $125–$225 range, plus parts if needed. You receive upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician holds a Tennessee journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and passes a national criminal background check as well as periodic drug screening. We display credentials upon arrival, giving you peace of mind that only a vetted professional is working in your home.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems after you repair it?
Run cold water during and 30 seconds after each use, feed food scraps gradually, avoid fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, and expandable starches like pasta. Grind citrus peels monthly to keep blades clean and fresh. Once a season, fill the chamber with ice and a cup of rock salt, then run the disposal to scour the impellers. Our technician will leave you with a personalized maintenance checklist before departing.
