FAQs
Which garbage disposal brands do you service in Cumberland Gap?
We repair and install all major disposal brands commonly found in Cumberland Gap homes, including InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, GE, Kenmore, and Frigidaire. If you have a less-common model, just let us know the make and model number when you call—our technicians carry a wide range of OEM and universal parts so we can usually service any brand on the first visit.
What are the most common problems that require professional garbage disposal repair?
The issues we see most often are jammed impellers, humming motors that won’t spin, leaks at the sink flange or dishwasher inlet, frequent circuit-breaker trips, foul odors caused by build-up, and units that drain slowly. These problems can result from fibrous food waste, foreign objects, worn gaskets, or electrical faults. Our diagnostic process pinpoints the exact cause so we can recommend a cost-effective fix rather than a full replacement whenever possible.
My disposal is humming but not grinding—can it be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
A humming disposal typically means the motor has power but the flywheel is stuck. In many cases we can free the jam, reset the overload protector, or replace the impeller plate without changing the entire unit. However, if the motor windings have burned out or the bearings are seized, a replacement may be more economical. We’ll inspect the unit on-site, give you upfront pricing for both repair and replacement, and let you decide what makes the most sense for your household budget.
How soon can you come to my home in Cumberland Gap, and do you offer emergency service?
We provide same-day appointments throughout Cumberland Gap and surrounding Claiborne County when you call before noon. For after-hours breakdowns, our 24/7 emergency line dispatches an on-call plumbing technician who can usually arrive within 90 minutes. All service vans are stocked with common disposal motors, splash guards, and seals so most repairs are completed in a single trip.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost, and will I get an estimate first?
Minor repairs such as clearing jams or replacing a splash guard typically range from $95–$150. More involved work—like changing the motor, grinding chamber, or electrical switch—can run $200–$350. For units beyond repair, a full replacement including labor averages $325–$450 depending on horsepower and brand. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate after our diagnosis, and we never begin work until you approve the price.
How can I keep my garbage disposal working smoothly after it’s repaired?
Run cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after use to flush debris. Feed food waste slowly and avoid fibrous items (celery, corn husks), starchy foods (potato peels, rice), and grease or oil. Every two weeks grind a handful of ice cubes and citrus peels to scour the chamber and freshen odors. Finally, press the reset button at the bottom if the unit stops suddenly—if it trips repeatedly, call us for a safety check.
